Little India

As its name suggests, Little India is the heart of Singapore’s Indian community. A cacophony of car horns, bicycle bells and vibrant chatter of its residents, Little India is one of the most vibrant and culturally authentic districts of Singapore. Take in the sights, sounds and smell as you immerse yourself in an authentic Indian experience in Singpapore.

Flashback Time!

Bordered by Selegie Road and Lavender Street, Little India's main stretch of commercial activity can be found along Serangoon Road, which was once known as "The road leading across the island" on one Lieutenant Jackson's map of 1828 Singapore. Several streets in Little India bear the names of personalities who once lived in the area. For instance, Dunlop Street and Clive Street bear the names of the European families who came to stay there in the early 1840s. Belilios Lane and Belilios Road were named after the Calcutta-born I.R. Belilios, who made his name there in cattle trading from the 1840s onwards.
