The Horniman Circle Gardens is a large park in South Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, which encompasses an area of 1.01 hectares (2.5 acres).
It is situated in the Fort district of Mumbai, and is surrounded by office complexes housing the country's premier banks.
Designed to be a large open space with grand buildings in the middle of the walled city, the area had been known as Bombay Green in the 18th century, later Elphinstone Circle.
A report from 11 April 1852 affirms this; A petition was sent by the residents of the city to the Court of Directors at London, against the erection of any building on Bombay Green.
At the centre of it was a statue of Governor General Lord Cornwallis, enclosed in a structure resembling a temple, which was installed through the effort of Bombay's residents, in 1822.
The Asiatic Society of Mumbai building (Town Hall) overlooks the Horniman Circle Gardens and the Reserve Bank of India.
