The strip
From Dhoby Ghaut to Orchard Boulevard: Plaza Singapura (GV cineplex + Cold Storage), Ngee Ann City (OCBC + Singapore Pools), Shaw House (Shaw Lido), Lucky Plaza (money changers) and Camden Medical Centre at the Tanglin end.
Getting there
Three MRT stations serve the strip — Dhoby Ghaut (triple line), Somerset and Orchard — linked by air-conditioned underpasses.
Timing tips
Bank branches in malls open Saturdays; Singapore Pools draws close sales before 6:30pm; cinemas start sessions every 30–60 minutes from late morning.
