Why Is Sopore Called ‘Chota London: Viral Pic Reveals Uncanny Resemblance to London’s Tower Bridge Area
Sopore, Baramulla, Kashmir – For years, the nickname “Chota London” (Small London) has sparked curiosity and debate among locals and visitors alike. Theories abounded, but none seemed to fully explain the origin of this moniker. Recently, a viral image has shed new light on the mystery.
The picture, which has taken the internet by storm, shows a split-screen aerial view of two strikingly similar locations. On one side is the iconic Tower Bridge area in London, with the River Thames flowing beneath. On the other is Sopore, with its own bridge spanning the Jhelum River and remarkably similar habitation on both banks.
The resemblance is uncanny, with many noting the identical alignment of the bridges, rivers, and surrounding architecture. This visual evidence has led many to believe that Sopore’s “Chota London” nickname is more than just a coincidence – it’s a nod to the town’s architectural and geographical doppelganger in the British capital.
While some questions still linger, this remarkable discovery has brought the people of Sopore closer to understanding their town’s unique connection to London.
