'''Perambur''' is situated about 7 km from Chennai Central and was a station on the [[Madras Railway]], which later became the [[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]]

Perambur is the centre of a crescent of the Anglo-Indian community comprising [[Vepery]], Purasawalkam, Ayanavaram, Perambur and Madhavaram.

The rise of Perambur as a premier Anglo-Indian centre was mainly due to the location there of the Carriage Works and Loco Works and the huge Perambur Railway Colony popularly known as the Pananthope Railway Colony.
