Worli is a part of south Mumbai, which stretches from Haji Ali to Prabhadevi. It is bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west and neighborhoods of Haji Alito the south, to the east is Mahalaxmi and Prabhadevi to the north. The nearest station to the neighborhood is Mahalaxmi. Today, even Lower Parel is called Upper Worli due to a massive construction boom in this region.

Worli was one of the seven islands that make up the original city of Mumbai. Yet a fishing village, the Worli Fort, a British fort now in ruins, is located there. It also has a mosque Haji Ali Dargah, on a rock in the sea, which is connected during low tide to the island by a natural causeway. The island of Worli was connected to the main island of Mumbai in 1784 with the completion of Hornby Vellard. The Hornby Vellard is today known as Lala Lajpat Rai Road. In 1842, the Love Grove sewage pumping station was completed. It has opened doors for special labels on the sea, which are open during periods of low tide. The pumping station is based on Annie Besant road, which was formerly known as Love Grove Road.

It is one of the busiest office areas in Mumbai, since the late 1970s. The first key development was the Shivsagar Estate at Dr. Annie Besant Road. Among large companies that have property here are GSK Pharma, Tata, Novartis, HDFC Bank, Yes Bank, Siemens and many others. Until September 1997 Poonam Chambers housed companies like ESAB, US vitamins, but when the building collapsed that had to change. Recent developments include many TV stations, even multi-national companies such as Deloitte and shopping malls like Atria.

Bandra-Worli Sealink (also known as Rajiv Gandhi Sealink) is situated at Worli Sea Face. It was inaugurated in July 2009. Later it will be extended in the second Sealink Rajpat Lala Rai Road and Marine Drive. Worli Seaface is also an important residential area for the affluent of Mumbai and extends north to Fort Worli Narayan Pujari Nagar (Apple Restaurant area) to the south. Worli Seaface, a landmark of Mumbai, appears in many Bollywood films even today. Its promenade is one of the busiest in the city of Mumbai; thousands of Mumbaikars frequent here for the morning or evening walks. It’s also famous for its giant waves during the monsoons.
