Meeting Point
Redhill MRT Station Exit A
- Redhill MRT is on the Green East-West Line. Please exit the station via Exit A and wait by the Automatic Cash Teller Machines. If you need directions from your accommodation, drop me a message and I'll guide you!
Delta Sports Complex
This is a Government built sports complex, healthy living through sports and wellness is encouraged hence places like these are built around the island, making sports and wellness facilities accessible to the public. In addition, community clubs also offer numerous facilities, I myself enjoy playing badminton regularly at one!
Redhill Market
One of Singapore's oldest markets, this combines a traditional local market and a hawker centre. See how locals haggle with market vendors and enjoy a delicious local breakfast!
Enabling Village
Learn and discover how people with disabilities are integated into the workplace. The flagship store of Art Faculty, a social enterprise for people with Autism is also based here, an excellent place to buy unique gifts and souvenirs!
Kay Siang Colonial Houses
Yes apart from beautifully conserved Shophouses, we also have elegant country tudor style houses from our colonial past that has been conserved and made available for rent! A beautiful contrast to the high-rise public and private apartments.
SkyTerrace
Do you know how green Singapore is despite our size? Here you get to really understand why! And despite our small size, land has been excellently used for various purposes. One doesn't need to go to MBS for panaromic views!
Margaret Drive Hawker Centre
After an excellent walk, we locals too need to cool down :) What better way than to do it over local desserts and drinks! This is where we will end the tour and I'll lead you back to Queenstown MRT Station, or if you prefer, you can stay on and continue to explore the neighbourhood!
