Cecil Street is a major road in downtown Singapore. It can be regarded as the street that separates the Central Business District of the Downtown Core from the Singapore Chinatown.

Cecil Street is presently a one-way street. it starts at the intersection with Maxwell Road and Anson Road, and ends where it merges with Robinson Road. Along the way, Cecil Street is intersected by Telok Ayer Street, Mccallum Street, Boon Tat Street, Cross Street, Market Street, Church Street and D'Almeida Street.

Cecil Street was named after Sir Cecil Clementi Smith, the Governor of the Straits Settlements between 1887 and 1893. It was during Clementi's tenure as governor that the Telok Ayer Reclamation, which extended the shoreline outward from Telok Ayer Street, was completed. Cecil Street was built on the newly reclaimed land.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
