Wallich Street, Singapore

Wallich Street, Singapore (27 July, 2017)


Wallich Street is one of the smaller streets in downtown Singapore. Located in Tanjong Pagar, it runs from Maxwell Road in the east to Tanjong Pagar Road in the west. In between it intersects with Peck Seah Street.

Wallich Street was named after Danish botanist Nathaniel Wallich (1785-1854) in 1899. Wallich was instrumental in setting up the first botanical garden in Singapore, located on the slopes of Fort Canning, where the Spice Garden is located today. He also worked on classifying the local plantlife.

In honour of his contribution to Singapore, Raffles also had Mount Wallich named after him. The hill was eventually flattened when its soil was used in the 1907 Telok Ayer Reclamation Scheme that created the Shenton Way area.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
