Farrer Park is located centrally in Singapore. It’s a seemingly sleepy but up and coming suburb within walking distance from Little India. The area has a lot to offer in terms of culture, dining, recreation, history, and schools. 

It’s no Orchard Road but Farrer Park also is considered a respectable shopping district.

A popular street that most locals gravitate towards is Rangoon Road (opposite Farrer Park Road). It is a laid-back neighbourhood with coffee shops around almost every corner. However, it has now evolved into a ‘hipster haven’ because of the many small cafes, eateries and workshops. 

There are a large variety of things to do and you’ll definitely be pleasantly surprised with the small finds you stumble open while discovering this neighbourhood.

If the heat in Singapore is too much to bear, you can seek refuge in the family-friendly – City Square Mall. This shopping centre is conveniently located near the Farrer Park MRT station and has over five floors of shopping experiences to immerse yourself in.

For an elegant take on shopping, venture over to “One Farrer – Hotel and Spa.” Elegant offerings are available for purchase as are an array of chocolate confections and pastries—to conquer that sweet tooth—or at least to succumb to it.
