The M. G. Road in Bangalore is one of the busiest roads in the city, and is lined on one side with upscale stores and restaurants. M. G. Road runs from Trinity Circle at one end to Anil Kumble Circle at the other; and has an eclectic mix of hotels (Taj Residency, Park, Oberoi), swanky office buildings (ING, various other banks) and old world shops (crockery, book shop, sweets, movie theatres) dating several decades. Brigade Road runs roughly perpendicular to M. G. Road and is full of pubs, cafes and show rooms. Church Street is more of the same.
M. G. Road was called "South Parade" in British times and renamed post independence. Many Indian cities (including New Delhi and Mumbai) have an M. G. road, and in general there is no linkage between these various roads (except that in many cases, these happen to be the busiest part of the city).
