Belcher's Street (Chinese: 卑路乍街; Cantonese Yale: bei1 lou6 zaa3 gaai1) is a main street in Kennedy Town of Hong Kong. It connects east Victoria Road and joins west Queen's Road West. A small section in its west end built a turn around for Hong Kong Tramway.
The street was named after Edward Belcher, a Royal Navy officer who surveyed the harbour of Hong Kong in 1841.
The Ex-Western Fire Station, located at No. 12 Belcher's Street, was converted into the Po Leung Kuk Chan Au Big Yan Home for the Elderly. It is a Grade III historic building[1] and is located along the Central and Western Heritage Trail.[2]
