Advantages: Peacefull atmosphere
Disadvantages: none

...Earlier known as the ceremonial Kingsway, Rajpath, which is 2.4 kilometer long, was planned as the central avenue of Sir Edwin Lutyen's New Delhi. The street is so well designed that even after more than six decades, the central vista of Delhi offers a very open feel to its visitors.

It is seriously crowded and you'll end up fighting your way through the crowds rather than looking at the shops / temples / food etc. Having said that, if you're going to go, make it a Friday, which is bryani day in the restaurants. I can recommend Anand Bhavan on Serangoon Road for this. It's vegetarian, but it's authentic food and unlike anything you'll get in the UK. Samsuddins is a huge department store that sells just about anything and is open 24 hours. Again, avoid on a Sunday. The jewellery shops sell excellent quality gold (usually at least 22 carat) for much, much less than you'll pay in the UK. As an illustration of the difference between Little India and UK prices, my wife and I bought our wedding... Read review
