To whom it may concern, quiet neighborhoods aren't always good neighborhood, often it is the opposite. (Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities)The place also resembles the British architecture and design in the government officials residential zone. EducationLodhi Colony has many centres nearby, for higher education, such as the All India Management Association (AIMA) institute, the Alliance Française de Delhi and even an south-campus Delhi University college, the Dyal Singh College. Comparatively low amount of vehicular traffic except on the main colony road (Bhishma Pitamahah Marg) makes the colony a pedestrian/walker's heaven. There are also a couple of private schools in like Air Force Bal Bharati School and The Banyan Tree School besides various government schools are also there. Visitor's attractionsThere are several places to visit in the vicinity such as the Sai Baba Temple of Lodhi Road, Ram Mandir at Bhishmah Pitamahah Marg India Habitat Centre, Najaf Khan's Tomb and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Lodhi Garden is also very near and is probably one of the best gardens in New Delhi for morning walkers and joggers. The four main shopping markets in this area are Jorbagh Market, Khanna Market and Meherchand Market and Main Market. Chocolate Wheel Confectionery in the Jor Bagh area is a very popular bakery. Rajiv Gandhi used to buy cakes from here. Over 14 artists across the globe came ahead and painted walls of Lodhi Colony making it an India's first Open-air art district.[2] Opening of Indira Paryavaran BhawanDue to the inauguration of the Paryavaran Bhawan, there has been a dramatic sudden rise in the traffic in Lodhi Colony. At peak times the traffic is so much that the cars had to be parked inside the residential parks of Lodhi Colony. The traffic is worsening day by day.
