Sophia Road, SingaporeSophia Road, Singapore (12 July 2011)


Sophia Road is a minor road in Rochor, Singapore. It begins at the intersection with Selegie Road, where it is almost parallel with Wilkie Road. From there, it continues in a semi-crescent westward to join with Mount Sophia, and ends at a sharp bend to link with Wilkie Road again.

Sophia Road is residential and quiet. It is lined with low-rise apartment blocks. Among the sights on Sophia Road is Peace Centre and St Margaret's Primary School.

Sophia Road is believed to have been named after Lady Sophia Raffles (née Hull), who became the second wife of Stamford Raffles after the death of his first wife Olivia Mariamne Fancourt.

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.
