During the Sunday walkout around the Fort area, visited The Rajabai Tower (a clock tower in South Mumbai). It is situated in the confines of the campus of the University of Mumbai. It stands at a height of approximately 85 m. The tower is part of The Victorian and Art Deco Ensemble of Mumbai. It was added to the list of World Heritage Sites in 2018. It can be viewed externally as entry not allowed. There is parking available in close vicinity. Other gothic architectural buildings eg. Bombay HC are also adjacent.

When we first arrived down in this area we were really surprised. This didn't feel anything like India but it felt like Europe in a way. This area is full of stunning architecture, colleges and a beautiful park! We really enjoyed walking around down here but unfortunately the entrance to get close to the clock tower has been closed for a long time now. Our local friend said in the two years she has been here the college has never unlocked it.

The Rajabai Clock Tower is another legacy of the British Empire in India. It's a Victorian era clock tower built in the store of Gothic revival, most evidently at the apex which is the epitome of a Gothic tower. This tower is close to several landmarks of Mumbai and it's worth a detour if in the area. There’s supposed to be a chime every 15 minutes, but there’s seems to be renovation working ongoing as there’s lots of scaffolding around the tower and I couldn’t get into the gated area of the clock tower.
Magnificent tower, but shame I couldn't get closer. From the outside, the terraces and matching towers with the open staircases look beautiful.

After many repairs and renovations, the clock is working again...
Its an impressive structure and one of the icons that defines Mumbai...
Overlooks the University grounds..
The clock chimes every quarter...
The city has moved on...and time never stops..

Sir George Gilbert Scott modelled it on Big Ben in London and took a little more than 9 years to finish in November 1878.
A fusion of Venetian and Gothic styles, the tower has one of the best stained glass windows in the city.
It is definitely one of the great Architectures of British Raj.

A very impressive clock tower. The British certainly did make an impression with architecture in Mumbai and this is no exception.
It towers above the local surround and looking from the maidan opposite made for a very impressive sight, especially as the sky behind was azure blue.
As it is part of a University campus you can't enter the grounds and look at this wonderful tower & clock any closer and sadly there are some obstructions to the view but that said it is definitely worth some of your time whilst in Mumbai, the maidan opposite makes for a nice walk as well.

The British really left behind some awesome architecture in their building & monument. This majestic tower is often ignored by us Bombayites coz familiarity breeds contempt... but it is truly beautiful

This building is beautiful, incredible really. Unfortunately, the fences are high and largely obstruct the view. If you can enter the property (I believe it is a university campus?), then you can get a close look at some great architecture. If you could get them to let you IN the tower, now that would be 6 stars.

It reminds me of Big Ben in London but then it was built by the British when they ruled India. It has a very nice playground close by and a lot of wonderful old buildings nearby like the University and the court house which are all architecturally amazing.
