Hazratganj
हज़रतगंज
Lucknow's most fashionable shopping avenue, where colonial-style façades restored in a uniform style house shops, cafés, and long-established restaurants.
Hazratganj is the central commercial street of the new city. It was established by a Nawab in the 1810s. During British colonial rule it developed into a London-style shopping street, and in 2010 its façades were restored in a uniform cream-colored colonial style. The street is lined with brand-name stores, bookshops, Chikankari boutiques, and long-established restaurants. Strolling here in the evening is known by locals as "ganjing." Nearby, St. Joseph's Cathedral and Begum Hazrat Mahal Park are worth a visit. Transport is convenient, with Hazratganj metro station right by the street.
