What makes this tour special
Learn about the various communities that migrated and co-existed to support the English establishment.
Visit heritage spots where Indian freedom fighters once hung out
Check out the undiscovered side to commercial street that goes beyond shopping
We will start the tour at General Items with a 20-30 minute engaging session at the store. General Items is a delightful local shop and cultural space that curates everyday objects, old-world charm, and contemporary design, a perfect place to set the tone for our journey into the city's layered past. After that we will wade through the residential lanes of Shivajinagar, ending it closer to Commercial Street.
We will explore 100 year old structures, visit different small businesses, and learn about the various historical figures that contributed to education, jobs, and opportunities for the people as well as savour the local favourite snacks and food that are distinct to this part of the city.
This walk has been specially curated by a local resident, who grew up in the Commercial Street neighbourhood and has lived its rich history.
