Battery Road is a minor road in downtown Singapore. It links Chulia Street on one end with Collyer Quay and Fullerton Road on the other. It is one of the earliest roads south of the Singapore River.

Battery Road was, of course, not named after dry cell batteries, or those you use in your car, but rather to the Fort Fullerton, the defence fortress or battery guarding the entrance to Singapore River. The fort is located on the site presently occupied by The Fullerton Hotel. During the 19th century, Battery Road links Fort Fullerton to Commercial Square, which is today Raffles Place.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
