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.

The tour is very good. Our guide was Mel, she was very nice, professional and knowledgeable.

Wonderful gem. A well maintained glimpse into a quickly disappearing history.

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.
