Lutyens' Delhi

Other members of the team of architects were Robert Tor Russell, who built Connaught Place, the Eastern and Western Courts on Janpath, Teen Murti House (formerly called Flagstaff House), Safdarjung Airport (formerly Willingdon Airfield), Irwin Amphitheatre (renamed Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium) and several government houses,[2] William Henry Nicholls, CG Blomfield, FB Blomfield, Walter Sykes George, Arthur Gordon Shoosmith and Henry Medd.

The line was eventually shifted to make way for the new capital and the New Delhi Railway Station was constructed near the Mughal-era Ajmeri Gate in 1926.

[citation needed] At the heart of the city was the imposing Viceroy's House (which now serves as the Indian President's primary residence and is referred to as the Rashtrapati Bhawan), the seat of the Governor General of India, located atop the Raisina Hill.

The Secretariat Building, which houses various ministries of the Government of India, including the Prime Minister's Office, straddles the Rashtrapati Bhawan and was designed by Herbert Baker.

[8][11] In December 2016, Renuka Talwar, daughter of DLF chairman KP Singh, acquired a bungalow on Prithviraj Road for ₹435 crore (US$50 million) which was dubbed one of the biggest property deals in Lutyens' Delhi.

[12] In the vicinity of the vast green expanse of the LBZ is a thick swathe of green, a glacis of trees, manicured lawns, and grand buildings, that afford an impregnable environmental cushion to the LBZ from the swirl and swarm of Delhi's congestion: to the west is the vast, ancient wooded area of the Delhi Ridge, adjoining the grand acres of the Presidential Estate; to the west and south is Nehru Park, the Race Course, an Indian Air Force station, the Delhi Gymkhana Club, Safdarjung Airport, the mid-eighteenth century Safdarjang Tomb, and the Diplomatic Enclave; to the south is the Lodi Gardens, with its baroque and imposing Lodhi-era tombs, and imperial remnants; to the southeast are great lavishly tended greens of Delhi Golf Club, with its Mughal-era ruins; beyond the Golf course, hemming the edges of the LBZ, is the green stretch of the National Zoological Park, lakes, the Purana Qila, and the Humayun's Tomb.

[9] The official residence of the Prime Minister of India is at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg; the road, designed off-limits to civilians and ordinary traffic, spans a complex of five bungalows, spread over 12 acres (4.9 ha).
