Hello! My Alexandra Village - Guided Heritage Tour of Alexandra Village

Bounded by Alexandra Road and Jalan Bukit Merah, Alexandra Village is named after Queen Alexandra, consort to King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and is known today to many Singaporeans for its hawker fare and as Singapore’s largest motor repair village.

Post-war, various areas in Alexandra were zoned for industrial use. In the 1970s, Kampung Alexandra was slated to be redeveloped into Singapore’s first motor repair “”village”” – Alexandra Village. The redeveloped village was envisioned as an integrated neighbourhood to work and live in, including workshops, shophouses, three- and four-room flats, and a food centre for residents and workers.

The Alexandra Village of today embodies a segment of Singapore’s industrial history and is an ideal destination for anyone looking to experience Singapore’s rich heritage. Apart from its reputation as Singapore’s largest motor repair village, it is also a one-stop furnishing destination and a haven for foodies!

Explore Alexandra Village on a special guided tour and meet the folks at the motor repair factories today!
