#5 Search for Singapore’s black-and-whites

Singapore’s iconic and beautiful colonial bungalows were built by the British in the period before World War II. There are around 500 “black-and-whites” still standing on the island. Some are rented out for homes, businesses or restaurants – sadly, a few are empty as rents are high. Exploring the key neighbourhoods where these houses can be found is a pleasure. For starters, try Wessex Estate, Dempsey, Mount Pleasant, Goodwood Hill, Adam Park and, further out from the centre, Seletar and Sembawang.
