McCallum Street, Singapore

McCallum Street, Singapore (1 August 2017)


McCallum Street is a one-way street through the Financial District and Chinatown of Singapore. It starts at Shenton Way and ends at the intersection with Telok Ayer Street, from where it continues as Amoy Street. The traffic direction is one way from Shenton Way to Cecil Street; it is in the opposite direction from Telok Ayer Street to Cecil Street.

McCallum Street also forms intersections with Robinson Road and Cecil Street, and a junction with Stanley Street. It is also intersected by alleyways such as Maxwell Link and Boon Tat Link.

Named after Major H.E. McCallum, the government engineer involved in the land reclamations of 1890's, McCallum Street was created following the land reclamation that extended the shoreline from Robinson Road to Raffles Quay. There is a possibility - but not conclusively verified - that MaCallum Street, Penang, was also named after him.

The Shenton Way section of McCallum Street is characterized by skyscrapers. A pedestrian overpass is located right at the junction of Shenton Way to McCallum Street. As you head west on McCallum Street, you pass a number of small lanes such as Maxwell Link and Boon Tat Link. They appear almost like gorges hemmed in by concrete canyons.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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