Sembawang Black & White Walking Tour

Meet me at 9am, 10th July 2022 at Sembawang MRT near the control station. From there it is a 1.2km walk on Canberra Road to Bermuda Road, St John's Road, Canada Road and onto Durban Road. On the way, we'll see, "touch" and feel the ambience of an era from the early 1900s. It is so surreal that the British ambience is just at the door step of a HDB Estate. And since we are doing a walking tour, you will be able to come up close and personal with some of most beautiful Black & White Houses, complete with war bunkers and all. It isn't really cheap to rent these houses. Most are already tenanted.

Canberra Road was once a very small 2-way road. Only a very short stretch is left in its original width. Most of Canberra Road has been widen to cater to the new infrastructure. But once we get onto Bermuda Road, things here remain much the same - from the early 1900s. I invite you to come take a walk with me through the time tunnel into the 1920s/1930s. It is unbelievable that this quiet enclave is but a few hundred meters from the bustling Sembawang HDB estate.

This tour will end at the infamous “The Strip”, - once famous for its brawls and debauchery during the 1960s. From here, we’ll take a bus back to Sembawang MRT, or you may choose to do lunch at The Strip – which may be a good idea.

Note:

• We do the world wide practice of tipping at the end of the tour.
• We also reserve the right to accept or reject habitual late cancellations and No Shows.
