Farrer Road MRT station

Farrer Road station in detail
Farrer Road serves the residential streets around Empress Road and Coronation Plaza, a low-rise shopping centre known locally for its Japanese and Korean grocery stores and casual eateries. The station sits a short walk or quick bus ride from the Bukit Timah Gate of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a quieter alternative to the main Tanglin Gate entrance one stop away at Botanic Gardens station. Away from Coronation Plaza the area is mostly private housing, including the Good Class Bungalow estates around Ridout Road, and there is little in the way of nightlife or big attractions — Farrer Road is a residential stop rather than a destination in itself.
