This grand Byzantine building from the late 1800’s has gone through some name changes and purposes over the year. Originally the Royal Albert Sailors Home which accommodated some 360 seamen , it then became the old council hall and finally today it is the home of the Maharashtra Police. Prior to any building at all, the land was the site of Bombay’s first British cemetery.

The Rajabai Clock Tower is a prominent feature of the Mumbai University complex. The clock has been likened to Big Ben in London. Apparently in the old days it used to play Rule Britannia, God Save the King and a Handel Symphony along with 13 other tunes that changed four times a day. Now with the British rule long gone, it now only plays the chimes of Big Ben every quarter hour. Standing at 280 feet tall, it was named after the mother of a 19th century stockbroker, who helped to fund the building of the tower and library that lies underneath the clock. The magnificent 5 storey spiral staircase was once open to the public but was closed after to visitors after several discontented citizens hurled themselves from the top.
