Getting Around
Can be reached via buses right downstairs. Would not recommend walking there, with construction going on and all along the way. Take this line (NSL) towards the city (Orchard, City Hall, Marina Bay) or up north into the heartlands.

Less than 1km away - straightforward walk but there's an overhead bridge that you have to climb. Take this line (NEL) to the trendy, exciting parts of town (Farrer Park, Clarke Quay, Chinatown) or to Sentosa (Harbourfront)
