Stamford Road is one of the major roads in downtown Singapore. It was originally called Hospital Road. During the early years, it was known as Lau Chooi Kay, or "water dripping street" in Hokkien, due to the Stamford Canal in its vicinity being prone to overflowing.
Stamford Road was named after the founder of modern Singapore, Stamford Raffles. It is a one-way street beginning at the intersection with Nicoll Highway and the much newer Raffles Avenue, which is also named after Stamford Raffles. It passes the War Memorial Park on the right and the Padang on the left.
