Lake Town is a neighbourhood in South Dumdum of North 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

[7][8][9][10] Standing on the VIP Road, the Kolkata Time Zone Tower is a one-third sized replica of Big Ben in Westminster, London.

Completed in October 2015, the tower was conceived by Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, with the intention of incorporating London's architecture in Kolkata.

Its proximity to Dumdum/Kolkata Airport and commercial centres like Salt Lake and New Town has been a catalyst for the rising property prices in recent years.

The Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport is at a distance of about 7 kilometres from Lake Town.
