Connaught Drive, Singapore

Connaught Drive, Singapore (28 July 2017)


Connaught Drive is a road in downtown Singapore. It connects Stamford Road on one end with St Andrew's Road on the other. Connaught Drive also branches off to Fullerton Road at a roundabout. It borders the southern part of the Padang, separating it from Esplanade Park.

Originally called New Esplanade Road, Connaught Drive was given its present name in 1907 to commemorate the visit of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn and his wife Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia.¹

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.
