Hamilton Road, SingaporeHamilton Road, Singapore (26 July 2017)


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 Lavender Street, and exits at Horne Road.

According to Singapore Street Names1, Hamilton Road is yet another road in the Lavender neighbourhood that was named after one of the World War I generals, in this case it was Sir Ian Standish Hamilton, the British general who led the Gallipoli expedition. 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.

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.
