Connaught Place, often abbreviated as CP, lies at the heart of New Delhi, India. It was developed as a showpiece of Lutyens' Delhi with a prominent Central Business District. Named after the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, its design was inspired by the Royal Crescent in Bath, England. CP is known for its Georgian-style buildings that house shops, eateries, and offices set in concentric circles. It has been an economic and cultural hub since its inception and boasts of heritage buildings and cinemas, such as the Palika Bazaar, an underground market, and the iconic Regal Cinema. The area's central park frequently hosts events and performances, and the locale is also famous for its nightlife with a variety of bars and restaurants. The radial roads from here lead to various parts of the city, making it a central point of the capital. CP's architecture exemplifies British colonial influence blending with Indian traditions, and it continues to be a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
