At the end of Queensway and at the junction of Alexandra Road, stands this landmark that bears the name of the road.
In satellite towns, neighbourhood shopping centres served the daily needs of residents. However, for more up-market purchases, one still had to make a trip downtown to Orchard Road or Chinatown up till the early 1970s. By then, suburban shopping centres had appeared, proving to be a hit with residents as they offered a large variety of goods at prices cheaper than in the city.
When Queensway Shopping Centre opened its doors in 1975, it was, as many of the residents here put it, "as though Orchard had arrived on the doorstep", with over 160 shops providing goods from shoes and sporting gear to musical instruments and cosmetics. Today, Queensway Shopping Centre continues to be a favourite haunt for students, families and bargain-hunters from all over Singapore searching for sporting goods and other bargains.
