La description:: As the tallest structure in Fort, St. Thomas Cathedral once acted as a visual landmark. Over the years, the spire was remodeled to make it look more Gothic. It houses a belfry and clock tower. Though the bells are no longer operational, they are still in the spire, where they were installed in 1798. The clocks, however, are still operational.

La description:: St. Thomas Cathedral is the first Anglican church in Mumbai and one of the oldest structures within Bombay Fort. The church was built on an open space known as Bombay Green, which was later developed as Elphinstone Circle (Horniman Circle). The surrounding area is named Churchgate, after the city gate, which stood close to the church.

La description:: The church in the name Churchgate refers to the 300-year-old St Thomas’ Church (now Cathedral). The ‘gate’ comes from the time when Bombay was protected by a Fort. The walled city had three gates, and the western gate was located close to the St. Thomas Church, hence Churchgate. Later when the railways were built, the name Churchgate was applied to the nearby railway station, as did the surrounding neighborhood.
