A must for history buffs, the Fort Canning Battlebox holds historical significance as the place where the British surrendered Singapore during World War II . A tour is included in the admission price.
The Battle Box is a popular name of the underground command centre constructed under Fort Canning, bomb-proof command centre during the Malayan campaign and the Battle of Singapore.
Can’t take photos inside but well worth a visit. This was the bunker from which the Brits ran the war in Singapore/Malaya until they had to surrender in Feb 1942.
Walk further up to the top of the hill and find this backdoor escape shaft
The tour is very good. Our guide was Mel, she was very nice, professional and knowledgeable .
Set aside 2 hrs to journey thro the World War II secret underground command centre
Wonderful gem. A well maintained glimpse into a quickly disappearing history.
Admission price $15 (adult), $8 (child 7-12yo). Tickets sold onsite
