Bailey Road
Bailey Road is a well-known thoroughfare and an upscale area in Ramna, Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh.
It is a classic road in Dhaka that runs through Shiddheswari, connecting Hare Road with Shantinagar junction. It is regarded as one of the busiest areas of the city, constructed during the colonial era, now serving both as a residential area for civil servants, high court judges as well as government officers, and hosting shopping malls and food courts. The Bailey Road is considered as two distinct roads, one after another, they are the new Bailey Road and the Bailey Road. The New Bailey Road is well recognised for its famous theatres, numerous boutiques, shops, schools, fast food, restaurants, and various hangout places. The old Bailey Road is reputable because of the officers club, Foreign Service Academy, and homes of ministers and government officials. Bailey Road was featured in a song of the same name by Ayub Bachchu, lead singer of the popular rock band LRB. Bailey Road was officially renamed Natok Soroni in recognition of the road's contributions to performing arts in the capital.
