Lorong Telok, Singapore

Lorong Telok, Singapore (28 July 2017)


Lorong Telok is a lane in downtown Singapore. It connects Circular Road to North Canal Road.

An unassuming road, Lorong Telok has a surprisingly long history, appearing in George Coleman's Map of Singapore in 1836. The name of the road means "bay lane" in Malay, possibly referring to the curve of Singapore River. There was a tributary or drain connecting the river to the canal which was in between North Canal Road and South Canal Road. Both that tributary and the canal have since been filled in.

Today Lorong Telok is known for its elegant row of 3-storey shophouses which have been beautifully restored.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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