Stamford Road, Singapore

Stamford Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Stamford Road is one of the major roads in downtown Singapore. It crosses the Downtown Core and Museum Planning Areas. The road that was named after the founder of modern Singapore, Stamford Raffles, was originally called Hospital Road. During the early years, it was known as Lau1 Cui1 Kay1 漏水街 , or "water dripping street" in Hokkien, due to the Stamford Canal in its vicinity being prone to overflowing.

Stamford Road is a one-way street beginning at the intersection with Nicoll Highway and the much newer Raffles Avenue, which is also named after Stamford Raffles. It passes the War Memorial Park on the right and the Padang on the left.

The next intersection is with St Andrew's Road and Beach Road. In front is St Andrew's Cathedral on the left and Raffles City on the right. Following that, the subsequent intersection is with North Bridge Road, with the Capitol Building on the left. Continuing pass the North Bridge Road intersection, there is Stamford House on the left before Stamford Road intersects with Hill Street on the left and Victoria Street on the right. Across the intersection, Stamford Court is on the left.

Continuing past the Hill Street/Victoria Street intersection, Stamford Road next makes an intersection with Queen Street. After the intersection, Stamford Road continues to connect with Orchard Road at the intersection with Bencoolen Street and Fort Canning 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.
