Good place to see. Lots of buildings to watch there. Old shops and great hustle and bustle there.Good to see at night
The area was earlier known as Donald Town, which was named after Donald McLeod, who was later to become the lieutenant governor of the Punjab (1865–70), and after whom, people even today, call McLeod Road. He was earlier the president of the Lahore Improvement Committee, which then became the Lahore Improvement Trust, later to be renamed the Lahore Development Authority. However, the term Charing Cross was first used in the context of Lahore, in 1908 in a publication by G.R. Elmslie titled “Thirty Five Years in the Punjab” (1908, Edinburgh). A 1918-19 ‘B&R Report’ refers to it as the ‘Charing Cross Scheme’.
A brilliant place with some historical events.
It has its history and nostalgia working for it...
Charing Cross, officially renamed Faisal Square is a major road intersection of Lahore, Pakistan, located on The Mall (Lahore). Laid out during the British period, it is named for Charing Cross in London.Until 1951 a marble pavilion at Charing Cross displayed a bronze statue of Queen Victoria, but now the statues place in the pavilion is occupied by a bronze replica of the Quran.
Good place to visit

The busiest square at mall road. The square have some historical importance. At it one side there is a building once named free masson hall niw its a chief minister office
The monument park is restricted to public visits in general. Even if you got inside the underground museum has nice artifacts from various countries but cleaning conditions are not good. You need to have special permission to visit(most probably that will work).
