Singapore Clarke Quay

By Christina Lau Lay Lian, Mouth and Foot Painting Artists

Clarke Quay is a historic riverside enclave situated along the Singapore River, just upstream from Boat Quay. Since the early 1800s, it has played a vital role in Singapore’s development, once serving as a bustling hub where cargo was unloaded and transported to the surrounding godowns and trading houses. More than just a trading post, Clarke Quay was a meeting point of cultures, commerce, and communities. Today, while its role has evolved, it remains a symbol of Singapore’s rich trading heritage and the vibrant spirit of a city shaped by its river.
