1090 Chauraha is one of Lucknow’s most important crossroads, linking Old Lucknow with New Lucknow. As a central landmark, it offers a clear view of the city’s daily movement and rhythm. Located close by, Chatori Gali, the popular street food lane, comes alive in the evenings and adds flavour to the area. Named after the women’s safety helpline, the junction reflects awareness, responsibility, and the city’s evolving spirit.
UP Darshan Park is Lucknow’s first Waste-to-Wonder destination, promoting sustainability through creativity. Built using scrap metal, discarded machinery, and recycled materials, the park features miniature replicas of prominent monuments from across Uttar Pradesh. It highlights environmental awareness, recycling, and cultural storytelling through innovative design.
Ambedkar Memorial Park stands as a monumental tribute to social justice, equality, and constitutional values. Built in 2008 using red sandstone, the park reflects contemporary architectural influences while honouring Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s vision of an inclusive society. Its vast open spaces and symbolic structures make it both a cultural landmark and a place for quiet reflection.
The Gomti Riverfront is located in Gomti Nagar, one of Lucknow’s most prominent and well-connected areas. Developed along the riverbanks, it features landscaped gardens, open promenades, and scenic viewpoints that highlight the natural beauty of the Gomti. The calm waters, green stretches, and thoughtfully designed spaces create a visually soothing environment. As you pass through, you naturally begin to feel the quiet charm and graceful rhythm of Lucknow unfolding around you.
The Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha is the seat of the state’s legislative authority and one of the largest legislative assemblies in the country. Designed by architect Samuel Swinton Jacob & Shri Heera Singh and completed in 1922, the building reflects Indo-European architectural influences and plays a vital role in democratic governance. Public access remains restricted due to its administrative importance.
Raj Bhavan, originally known as Hayat Baksh Kothi, was built in 1781 by Major General Claude Martin. The structure showcases colonial-era architecture surrounded by expansive gardens. Today, it serves as the official residence of the Governor of Uttar Pradesh and remains an important symbol of administrative heritage.
Christ Church introduces Gothic Revival architecture into Lucknow’s urban fabric. With its pointed arches, stained glass windows, and tall spire, it reflects the city’s colonial past and continues to function as an active place of worship and historical significance.
Hazratganj, developed in 1827 by Nawab Nasir-ud-Din Haider, is considered the cultural and commercial heart of Lucknow. Designed on European lines, it blends heritage architecture with modern retail, cafes, and public life, making it one of the city’s most iconic urban spaces.
The General Post Office, constructed between 1929 and 1932, originally functioned as the Ring Theatre for British officers. Its transformation into a central postal hub reflects Lucknow’s administrative evolution and colonial-era urban planning.
This park commemorates Begum Hazrat Mahal, a prominent leader of the 1857 uprising and a powerful symbol of resistance against British rule. The first wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, she played a decisive role in India’s freedom struggle, leading efforts in Awadh with courage and conviction. Today, the park stands as a tribute to her legacy, offering a peaceful space for remembrance and reflection.
Located away from the city’s bustle, the tomb of Nawab Amjad Ali Shah represents the refined elegance of Awadhi architecture. Known for his patronage of music, poetry, and culture, the Nawab’s legacy continues through this quiet historical site.
Globe Park serves as a community-centric green space where everyday life unfolds through walks, leisure, and shared moments. At its heart stands a globe structure symbolising the world’s countries, oceans, and seas, reinforcing the idea of global unity. The park reflects the importance of open public spaces in nurturing urban well-being and community connection.
Chattar Manzil, also known as the Umbrella Palace, stands as a symbol of royal authority and architectural finesse. Built during the reign of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan, its distinctive domed structure and riverside location mark it as one of Lucknow’s most recognisable heritage landmarks.
The Residency remains one of the most historically significant sites in Lucknow, closely associated with the Revolt of 1857. Its preserved ruins, bullet marks, and memorials narrate stories of resistance, sacrifice, and colonial conflict, making it a powerful site of national memory.
The journey concludes at Food Valley near 1090 crossroad, a lively street food lane that brings Lucknow’s culinary soul to life. From age-old snacks to contemporary flavours, it reflects the city’s deep-rooted love for food, conversation, and togetherness. Now, with Lucknow officially recognised as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, Food Valley stands as a proud expression of this honour.
