From Horniman Circle we walk to Ballard Estate, with its wide, tree-lined streets and elegant European-inspired architecture - and back to early 20th century Bombay, to a port city that stood at the centre of a map dominated by sea trade and travel, and at the brink of modern living. From plague, war, trade and shipping to train travel, migration, hotels and public dining, this walk highlights remarkable, hidden connections between Bombay and the world.
