Lavender Street, Singapore

Lavender Street, Singapore (26 July 2017)


Lavender Street is a street in Kallang, Singapore. It connects Balestier Road, at the intersection with Serangoon Road, in the north, with Crawford Street, at the intersection with Kallang Road. The road dates back to 8 March, 1858, at a time when the area was covered with Chinese vegetable gardens. The area was smelly from the nightsoil used by the farmers, but the residents called the place lavender, out of sarcasm¹. The municipality somehow accepted that name, and the road became known as Lavender Street.

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.
