Bangsar is a residential suburb on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, lying about 4 kilometres south-west of the city centre. It is part of the Lembah Pantai parliamentary constituency. Bangsar is administered by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, unlike other townships in the Klang Valley such as Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya which have their municipal councils.
