Kingsway was a two-mile avenue in New Delhi. The government complex was situated on this avenue. The avenue is now called Rajpath.
At the end of Kingsway was the Viceroy’s Palace (Rashtrapati Bhavan). The Secretariat buildings were situated on either sides of the avenue. The architecture of these buildings were taken from different periods of India’s imperial history, but the overall look was Classical Greece.
