Somerset Road is a major road in the Orchard shopping belt of Singapore. It runs in a single direction from east to west, beginning at the intersection with Killiney Road and Penang Road, and ending at the T-junction with Grange Road.
Somerset Road was named after William Somerset Maugham, the English novelist who spent time in the Malay peninsula, including some years in Singapore, in the 1930's. Located between Somerset Road and Orchard Road is the Somerset MRT Station (NS23) served by the North-South Line.
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.
