Oxley Road, Singapore

Oxley Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Oxley Road is a minor road in River Valley, Singapore. It is a narrow two-lane road linking Orchard Road to River Valley Road, and forming a junction on its west side with Lloyd Road.

Oxley Road and related roads in the area, among them Oxley Rise, Oxley Walk and Oxley Garden, were all named after Dr Thomas Oxley, a wealthy surgeon who owned a vast nutmeg plantation known as Oxley Estate. The estate was bounded by River Valley Road, Tank Road (much longer in the 19th century than what you would see of it today), Orchard Road and Grange Road.

Oxley is located in Singapore Postal District 09.

Dr Oxley had come to settle in Singapore from Penang. He took the position of Senior Surgeon of the Straits Settlement in 1844. A keen botanist, he was one of the founding members of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society. Other roads within his estate includes Grange Road and Killiney Road.

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.
