Clarke Quay is another quay along the Singapore River. The quay is about 15 minutes walk from Boat Quay and there is an MRT (commuter train) station within Clarke Quay of the same name. Like Boat Quay, Clarke Quay was also an important port, commercial and trading centre in Singapore from the early 19th until the later part of the 20th century.
Clarke Quay has a different story to tell today with many of the old warehouses converted into restaurants, bars, entertainment spots and shops. The area is relatively quiet during the day but as evening approaches it gets very lively and colourful. It's a pricey area but seems very popular with the wealthy as well as tourists and expats from the Western countries.
