Connaught Place market was designed by Robert Tor Russell in collaboration with WH Nicholls. Connaught Place's represents Georgian architecture.The Britishers believed that a market in the shape of a horseshoe would prove lucky for both shoppers and shopkeepers. So it was shaped like that. Apart from being the commercial and business hub of Delhi, CP has countless restaurants, watering holes, shops and emporia and cinema halls too. Outlets of almost all international brands available in India are along the inner circle: Benetton, Allen Solly, Reebok, Nike, Levi’s, Lee Cooper etc.
