Church Street is a busy street in the Central Business District of Bangalore, India.[1] It is a 750-metre stretch[2] from Brigade Road to St. Mark's Road, running parallel to M G Road. The street is named for St. Mark's Cathedral to which it leads.[3]
A tourist hotspot,[4] Church Street is a major shopping and nightlife area.[1] It is also a popular New Year's Eve celebration centre.[5]
In 2017, redevelopment work began on Church Street at a cost of ₹9 crore, which made it the first street in the city to be paved from granite cobblestones.[6] The cobblestones were laid in a Kasuti pattern to reflect Karnataka's cultural heritage.[7]
In 2020, Church Street ran a pilot project called Clean Air Street during which the street was converted into a pedestrian zone with a complete ban on automobile traffic.[8]
