The Mall in Lahore, Pakistan (also known as "Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam"), is one of Lahore's primary and most famous roads. It was constructed under the British Raj and was named after The Mall in London.
The Mall holds significant historical and cultural value, as most of the buildings lining the road are a collection of Mughal and colonial-era architecture, the majority of them built during the British Raj era.[2] This area has many official houses of high-ranking dignitaries.
