What You Will Do
British Architecture walk is an immersive walking tour in Chennai which traces the city's heritage from colonial times to the modern age.
Chennai, formerly known as Madras, was the capital of the Southern British India. Many great monuments were built during the British rule and several of them continue to dominate the skyline of Chennai even today. In this walking tour, we will visit some of the prominent landmarks of Chennai, which were built during the British era in an architectural style blending British as well as Indian elements. We will start at the Central Railway Station and walk to Ripon Building, Southern Railway Headquarters, Victory Memorial, Fort St George, Naper Bridge and finish at Madras University building.

The Egmore railway station is more than a 100 years old and one of the earliest buildings built in Indo-Saracenic styke. Designed by the legendary Henry Irwin to be larger than Charring Cross station of London, the Station was built by Samynatha Pillai. The building is a fine blend of Gothic and Dravidian design styles. It is the ideal place to start our walk about British Architecture in Chennai.
