Location Lavender Lavender station in Singapore

Lavender MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East West line in Kallang, Singapore. Located under the junction of Kallang Road and Kallang Walk, Lavender station is adjacent to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) Building.

Lavender MRT station is the last underground MRT station on the East West line for trains travelling east. It is within walking distance to Bendemeer MRT station on the Downtown line.

History

Although it was built together with the original two-line MRT network, Lavender station only became operational on 4 November 1989, almost exactly two years after the first MRT trains started running in Singapore as the original network was opened in phases. Lavender station was opened along with the section of the East West line from City Hall to Tanah Merah as well as Marina Bay along the North South line.

Similar to other older stations, Lavender has been renovated to make it accessible to the physically and visually challenged. Apart from this and some other minor works, the station has remained virtually unchanged since it was built in the late 1980s.

To commemorate Total Defence Day in 2000, the Singapore Civil Defence Force conducted the first ever Shelter Open House at this station on 15 and 16 February, together with Tiong Bahru and Somerset stations.
