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

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.
