King's Circle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

King's Circle is a railway station on Mumbai's Harbour Line. It is also the name of a circular park in Matunga, Mumbai, which has since been renamed Maheshwari Udyan. Like most other renamed places, locals still prefer calling it by its old name. Located very close to King's Circle station is S.I.E.S High School which is one of Mumbai's oldest and premier schools. King's Circle is also central to various other places like Koliwada, Wadala or Vadala, Sion, Dadar and C.G.S. Colony (Antop Hill); and is a prime location for real estate and business due to which real estate costs are rather high. Most newcomers find it difficult to afford owning a house in King's Circle and those that are already owned belong to people living here since at least a couple of generations.

Traffic congestion and water logging during monsoon are major problems facing the circle. The circle used to be a tram terminus, till trams were decommissioned.
