The old structural building was preserved but the inside was changed to two parts, one has since become Virgin Active Gym and the other section is a shopping center, The shopping center has all the retail shops that you may think of, restaurants and supermarket, there is a beautiful park outside the mall called Gugu Dlamini park where people sit and relax during lunch time.

This more than 125 years old Victorian style railway station is the home of KNZ tourist information bureau and point of departure of various walking tours. A bust of Mahatma Gandhi can be found just inside the front door, commemorating the purchase of a first class train ticket to Johannesburg. I went there following the footstep of the great Mahatme in South Africa. A historical and archeological place to visit.

Unless you want to be mugged, pick pocketed or sold FONG KONG goods...Stay away!!! from this area....If you have to go, beware of your surrounds at all times...Used to be a nice place to visit ...1 years ago...but not any more. Besides Durban has so many other beautiful places to visit...

This is the oldest shopping mall in Durban. The original building structure which used to be the famous Durban railway station was preserved when they converted it to become a shopping mall, next to it is also the first Virgin Active gym in Durban which was also part of the old Durban Station.

The old station proper, which was restored and turned into an office suite during the 1980s, is not all that exciting in terms of antiquity: it dates to the end of the 19th century. The old station complex - with its adjacent workshops, which were turned into a shopping centre (the Workshop) in the 1980s too - is one of the few Durban buildings that can boast a measure of historical interest but is too crowded and unsafe during the week, while it is entirely deserted at week ends.

This is a quant blast in the past with some retail outlets and eating places. Great to spend two hours or so. A jack of all malls. Will be more interesting for those who like history and architecture.
