About this Event

Do you know who Oxley Road was named after? Do you know about all the different communities that contributed to Singapore's economic development, and how they all gathered in River Valley?

My River Valley Heritage Tour explores the rich multicultural and multireligious landscape of the River Valley neighbourhood. This will take us through many shophouses, places of worship and other landmarks around the Singapore River. Our tour does not just focus on the great historical figures that gave rise to many of these places, but also on the everyday people and communities that breathe life into these places
