Henderson Road is a major road in the Bukit Merah Planning Area, Singapore. It runs right through the area from north to south. It runs from Alexandra Road, across from Prince Charles Crescent, in the north to the West Coast Highway in the south. It forms intersections with Tiong Bahru Road and Jalan Bukit Merah. The Ayer Rajah Expressway crossed below it while the Henderson Waves Bridge crosses above it. Roads forming junction to Henderson Road include Henderson Crescent, Bukit Merah View, Bukit Merah Central, Depot Road, Telok Blangah Way, Telok Blangah Green, Telok Blangah Heights and Telok Blangah Drive.

According to Singapore Street Names, Henderson Road was named after a businessman, George Henderson, who has business dealings with Jardine Matherson & Co as well as James Brooke of Sarawak. In addition to Henderson Road, Henderson Crescent was also named after him. There were other roads too, Henderson Avenue, Henderson Square and Henderson Walk, all named in 1952. However, these roads have since been expunged.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
