History
Park Street, once known as Burial Ground Road, got its name from a deer park that existed during the 18th century. It transformed into a fashionable promenade during the British Raj, lined with grand mansions, clubs, and hotels. Today, it retains its colonial charm while embracing modernity, making it a fascinating blend of old and new.
