Hamilton Road is a minor road in the
Lavender subzone of
Kallang,
Singapore. It is today a one-way road. Traffic enters Hamilton Road from

According to

However, there is also a possibility that the road was named after one Walter & Hamilton, a partner of Hamilton, Gray & Company at
Battery Road. There is also a
Hamilton Road in
Penang, but that road was named after a headmaster of the
Penang Free School.
