Off Vijay Nagar Bharani Road, Near Sion ACP Office, Mumbai

Antop Hill is a rapidly developing area running north-south to the eastern side of the Harbour line between Wadala & Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar Stations. It derives its name from a local Marathi owner called Antoba. In a course of time, the name was anglicised to "Antop". To the south is MBPT (Mumbai Port Trust Colony) and to the north is the C.G.S. colony. To the east at a distance lies the Trombay Hill and the RCF Factory. It  is well known for the Central Govt. Housing Colony catering to the government employees. Being very near to Koliwada station (now GTBN) and Kings circle station in Harbour line and very near to Sion and Dadar, this place is accessible to all the railways lines in Mumbai. It also has excellent bus connectivity to all parts of Mumbai.  The area around the oil depot has some interesting cemeteries (Chinese, Bahá'í, Sunni Muslim, Brahma Samaj and European). The New Link road cuts the hill into two parts.  Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (VIT) run by the Vidyalankar group is also located close by.  The Darul-Salam High School which is recognized by Government of Maharashtra State is located here. There is huge ground to play your favorite sport. In 2003, a Bollywood movie was made called, "88 Antop Hill" but the movie had nothing to do with the place. The presence of basic establishments has transformed Antop Hill as one of the preferred residential areas of Mumbai.
