Interesting facts
Syed Alwi Road is named after a 19th-century Arab merchant of the Aljunied family, whose father came to Singapore from Palembang.
The road runs one way from Serangoon Road, across Jalan Besar, to the junction with Jalan Sultan and Rochor Canal Road, passing Townshend Road and King George's Avenue near this end.
Jalan Besar, which Syed Alwi Road crosses, means large road in Malay. It was laid out around the 1880s over low-lying swamp land.
