Princess Street

Princess Street, popularly known as Loafer’s Corner, is one of the first streets built in Fort Kochi, Ernakulam. Princess Street, with its European-style homes, has kept its old-world elegance. Loafer’s Corner, the typical meeting place and hangout of the area’s jovial funloving folks, offers the greatest perspective of this charming neighborhood.

The grand style boulevard, which is dotted with dozens of European homes built in the Dutch, British, French, and Portuguese styles, harkens back to the colonial centuries. The aroma of freshly made bread wafts from the delicate bakeries in the mornings, and the street is filled up with neon lights in the evenings, bustling with people coming here for meals, dances, and other activities.
