Charing Cross, renamed, as Faisal Square (alternatively, Faisal Chowk) on Mall Road, now officially renamed as Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam to honour the founder of the nation, is one of the classical examples of urban open spaces laid down during the British Period.

Despite its historical, architectural and national significance, there is a dearth of available literature pertinent, to it.
