Brickfields is Kuala Lumpur's biggest "Little India" and is located just south of the City Center. Its main road, Jalan Tun Sambanthan, formerly knowns as Brickfields Road, is lined from end to end with shops selling Indian clothing, provisions and foodstuff.
Previously deemed as one of KL's less savoury areas, Brickfields is undergoing a makeover with the construction of the massive KL Sentral project on top of the old railway marshalling yards for which Brickfields was known. The KL Sentral area now has a collection of tall office towers and also Kuala Lumpur's main railway station.
For the purposes of this page, Brickfields will also include the area to the east of the Klang River along Jalan Syed Putra and Robson Heights, where the impressive hill-top Thean Hou Temple is located.
