Location
One of the more prominent areas it serves (in addition to the district of Outram) is Chinatown. Although the present Chinatown MRT Station is now closer to Chinatown, this station was the closest MRT station within the vicinity of Chinatown before the North East line was built. It is just beside Pearl's Hill Reservoir and Pearl Bank Apartments. Its location in the Central Area puts the station in proximity to a number of public buildings. These include the Singapore General Hospital as well as multitude of public health buildings under Singapore Health Services (SingHealth), including the Singapore National Eye Centre, the National Heart Centre and the National Dental Centre. It also within walking distance to the Central Narcotics Bureau and the Police Cantonment Complex.
