Several cinema halls are located on or near the road, such as Aruna, Chhabighar, Naaz, Purabi, Prabhat. In popular culture Rabindranath Tagore in this poem Ekdin Rate mentioned this street. The lines of the poem were— Howrah-r bridge chole mosto she bichhe, Harrison road chole tar pichhe, pichhe (the approximate English translation: The Howrah Bridge is moving as if a large centipede and the Harrison Road moves behind it). Saradindu Bandopadhyay's famous fictional character, Byomkesh Bakshi - India's putative foremost detective, lived on Harrison Road in the second floor of a three-storied building along with his friend and associate Ajit Banerjee and domestic help, Putiram.
