If there’s one thing to be said about Singapore’s exciting new development, Zyon Grand, it is about its spectacular location. Tucked away in District 9, just opposite the old Zouk and beside Havelock MRT station, Zyon Grand takes convenience to a whole new level.
Sure, Havelock MRT and Great World MRT stations are a stone’s throw away, and right on the doorstep are buses that run throughout the island, but the best part about Zyon Grand is that you can walk to some of the best Singapore has to offer, especially if you’re feeling particularly energetic.
In this blog post, we’ll cover all the nearby amenities and their distances from Zyon Grand. Walking is great for health, so get out those shoes and hit the road!
Transportation Within Walking Distance
Bus stops are located along Havelock Road and Kim Seng Road, a short walk from the property, with a range of buses running all throughout Singapore. Great World MRT is 320 metres away and Havelock MRT is just beside the property, both lying on the Thomson East-Coast Line.
Outram Park, a major hub and interchange, is 1.7 km away and serves the North-East, Thomson East-Coast, and East-West lines. Don’t want to walk 1.7 km? Outram is a mere stop away from Havelock.
Food Within Walking Distance
All Singaporeans know that local food is the best, and you’ll be spoilt for choice at Havelock Road Food Centre (10 minutes walk) and Zion Riverside Food Centre (5 minutes walk). Otherwise, tons of options await at the waterfront along the Singapore River, including Jiak Kim House,
Beast and Butterflies, Grand Shanghai Restaurant, and GULP Riverside Taproom.
Go southwest, around the Bukit Ho Swee and Tiong Bahru area, and you have more local favorites, hipster cafes, up-market restaurants, and coffee shops with a wide selection of stores.
One thing’s for sure. At Zyon Grand, you’ll never go hungry, especially in a food-crazy nation like Singapore, where F&B outlets are often open 24 hours a day.
Shopping Within Walking Distance
Almost better than the food choices that Zyon Grand offers within walking distance is the shopping. Retail therapy is big in Singapore and you’ve got the huge Great World City right across the Singapore River, less than 10 minutes away. Tiong Bahru Plaza is an excellent suburban mall that is about 20 minutes away where you can get retail and grocery choices at reasonable prices.
Walk 25 to 30 minutes and you’ll be in the heart of Orchard Road, Singapore’s legendary shopping belt filled with nothing but malls like the iconic Ion Orchard, Plaza Singapura, and Centrepoint.
Entertainment Within Walking Distance
Great World City, which is less than 10 minutes away, has many entertainment choices, including Golden Village (GV), home of 16 cineplexes and 122 screens. With a huge range of movies, state-of-the-art design and equipment, and unparralleled comfort, you’ll have a complete entertainment and lifestyle experience, all in one venue.
A short stroll away is the famous Clarke Quay, one of Singapore’s main nightlife hubs. A lively riverside destination, CQ offers a huge mix of dining, bars, pubs, galleries, and other entertainment options. Robertson Quay is then right next door and offers a more relaxed atmosphere with chic cafes, art galleries, and alfresco dining along the Singapore River.
A 15-minute walk away is the Singapore Repertory Theatre, an intimate 380-seat venue for diverse performances. Renowned for its Main Stage productions, SRT also operates divisions like The Little Company for children and The Young Company for aspiring actors.
In the mood for a longer walk? About 40 minutes straight east is the Esplanade – Theatres by the Bay, Singapore’s crown jewel and premier performing arts centre. Housing a 1,600-seat concert hall and a 2,000-seat theatre, Esplanade has performances almost every night, offering a huge selection of classical concerts, contemporary theatre, and many more.
Singapore’s public transportation system might be the best in the world, but walking is excellent for your physical and mental health. At Zyon Grand, you’ll be blessed with loads of lifestyle and leisure choices, all within walking distance!
