Hennur is a suburb in Bangalore in the Indian state of Karnataka. The locality is surrounded by the Outer Ring Road and Hennur Main Road. It is located approximately 15 kilometers from Bangalore City railway station and has Bangalore East Railway station & Bangalore Cantonment Railway station in near proximity. This suburb used to be on the outskirts of Bengaluru many years ago. With the arrival of IT Hubs and commercialisation around Kammanahalli, Banaswadi, a huge transformation has come about here.

Once a huge rock quarry existed here, thus giving the nearby place a famous name "Hennur Bande". This has since been filled up and is an open space now.
