One of the modern historic looking edifices of Kolkata

The face lifting of the Lake Town area is highly based on the erection of this recent clock tower. It has really added to the glory of the place.

Not a must see

If you are travelling to the airport from Park Circus you just can't miss this clone of Big Ben. Maybe they will build a little canal running by it and call it the Thames. Seriously not much to see .
