Customs House, Singapore

Customs House (27 July 2017)


Customs House (GPS: 1.2826, 103.85348) is a historical building on the Singapore waterfront. This was the head office of the Singapore Customs Police, which oversaw the security in Singapore Harbour.

Over time, however, the harbour activities away from the area, which urbanized. From what was once open sea, the shore overlooking Customs House was reclaimed to create the Marina Bay recreational zone and New Downtown. The change in land usage means that Customs House was no longer in a position to serve the purpose it was originally intended.

To save the historic building and give it a new lease on life, Customs House was restored and readapted as as a food & beverage centre, part of the Fullerton Heritage Complex. This is a place where well-heeled locals can experience fine dining in a glittering surrounding.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
