Art Deco buildings in Mumbai are more than just old structures tucked in different areas of downtown. These architectural gems are part of the city’s soul, quietly standing in the shadows of the towering skyscrapers.
As a Mumbaikar, I’ve witnessed this city transform in ways that sometimes feel almost unrecognizable. Chawls and theatres that once defined our neighbourhoods have given way to glass-and-steel giants, flashy malls, and endless construction.

Nestled on the southern tip of the city, the Afghan Church in Mumbai is one of the historical churches that offers a truly unique experience. With its stunning Gothic architecture, the church tells countless stories of honour and sacrifice, making it a site steeped in history and significance.
Officially known as St. John the Evangelist Church, this remarkable structure was built in memory of the soldiers who perished in the First Afghan War (1839–1842).
Last year, Sarah and I visited this iconic site, but we couldn’t cover it as the church was undergoing extensive restoration work. It was worth the wait—a whole year—to finally share its restored glory with you.
The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top.
These evocative lines from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner might bring to mind a serene kirk overlooking a harbour. While there’s no lighthouse here, the Church of St. Andrew and St. Columba Scots’ Kirk in Mumbai stands as a hidden gem among the least-known churches in the city.

Eros Cinema Mumbai is one of the most loved single screen theatres in Mumbai. Personally, I have many memories of watching movies here in the 1990s and 2000s era. From watching Hritik Roshan making his debut on the big screen in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in 2000 to being spooked watching Raaz in 2002, I had a great time. I have memories of watching Satya, Mughal-e-Azam (Coloured Version), 99, The Da Vinci Code, and Rang De Basanti as well.
Also, how can I forget that while watching Lagaan (2001), the crowd inside the Eros Cinema Mumbai all cheered for Kachra and Bhuvan as they beat Captain Russell and his team at their own game. We all knew who would win but the crowd went ballistic at every run as if it was a live cricket match. The energy in that movie hall was electrifying.
