Close to the iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and the Gateway, Causeway also leads up to the high-security Naval Officers Residential Area. It was in 1838 when Causeway came into existence - the creek dividing the Island of Bombay (Colaba) and Old Woman's Island were joined by land-filling. “Slowly, the place began to develop with elite residences, the Taj Mahal Hotel, and Regal Cinema being built here. The causeway also has buildings with colonnade architecture where the columns covered the footpath. While the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel came up in 1903, the Gateway came up in 1924, and India's first air-conditioned cinema, Regal, in 1933.
