Versova began as a Koli fishing village, and Koli families still sell fish at the jetty; the Versova Koli Seafood Festival started in 2006.1 By 2015 rubbish lay up to 1.7 m deep on the beach. Afroz Shah and Harbansh Mathur began clearing it with weekly volunteers, who removed close to 5.3 million kg in 21 months. Shah received the UN Environment Programme's Champion of the Earth award in 2016, and in 2018 Olive Ridley turtles nested there for the first time in 20 years.1

Next door, Aram Nagar fills with casting agencies, production offices and the people who work for them, and its lanes, with JP Road and Yari Road, hold the thickest cluster of cafés in Andheri. Lokhandwala, to the north, has the late-night coffee.

Local tip: Cat Café Studio is closed on Mondays; for a late coffee that day, Engine Espresso on Lokhandwala Back Road opens at 19:00.4
