Prince Edward Road is a road in the southern part of the Central Business District of Singapore. It runs in a single direction from east to west, starting at Marine Station Road, and ending at Anson Road. In between it makes an intersection with Shenton Way.
Prince Edward Road was named in honor of Edward, the Prince of Wales (who later reigned as King Edward VII, abdicated, and was titled The Duke of Windsor for the remainder of his life), who was visiting Singapore with Lord Louis Mountbatten in 1922. The prince officiated the Malaya-Borneo Exhibition, at that time the grandest exhibition ever held in Singapore. It was sited at the newly reclaimed land between the new sea wall and Robinson Road, the location of Shenton Way today.
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.
