Killiney Road, SingaporeKilliney Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Killiney Road is a minor road in the Orchard and River Valley areas. The road is in Postal District 09. It was named after Killiney House, the home of Dr Thomas Oxley, after whom Oxley Road was named.

Killiney is located in Singapore Postal District 09.

Killiney Road is intersection on the east side by Penang Road, Eber Road, Dublin Road and Lloyd Road, and on the west side by Somerset Road, Exeter Road, Devonshire Road and St Thomas Walk.

Killiney House was built in 1842 after Oxley bought the land from the East India Company in 1837. Later in 1847 he built another bigger house on the property, and called it The Pavilion. A Jew named Sir Reuben Manasseh Meyer bought Killiney House in 1890. He then rebuilt it and renamed it Belle Vue. Due to his staying in Oxley Rise, he established the Chesed-El Synagogue there. Belle Vue was demolished in 1982.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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