Lake Town

Has anyone ever lost themselves in the mesmerizing chaos of Kolkata and stumbled upon a pocket of tranquility? That’s Lake Town for you. Lake Town isn’t just a name. It’s a planned residential haven nestled in North Kolkata, offering a unique blend of serenity and urban convenience. Directly connected to the city’s bustling commercial hubs via bus and rail, Lake Town has become a highly sought-after locality. It’s a place where independent houses and multi-story residential buildings coexist harmoniously. Imagine yourself standing at the foot of Kolkata’s very own “Big Ben.” The Kolkata Time Zone Tower, a one-third replica of London’s iconic landmark, stands tall on VIP Road. This quirky addition to Lake Town’s landscape, completed in 2015, adds a touch of British charm to this vibrant Indian neighborhood. While the original Big Ben boasts a height of 96 meters, Lake Town’s version stands at a respectable 30 meters. Its four clock faces, sponsored by the Anglo Swiss Company, measure 3.6 meters in diameter. From this central point, explore the diverse offerings of Lake Town.
