Killiney Road is a minor road in the Orchard and River Valley areas. The road is in Postal District 09. It was named after Killiney House, the home of Dr Thomas Oxley, after whom Oxley Road was named.
Killiney is located in Singapore Postal District 09.
Killiney Road is intersection on the east side by Penang Road, Eber Road, Dublin Road and Lloyd Road, and on the west side by Somerset Road, Exeter Road, Devonshire Road and St Thomas Walk.
Killiney House was built in 1842 after Oxley bought the land from the East India Company in 1837. Later in 1847 he built another bigger house on the property, and called it The Pavilion. A Jew named Sir Reuben Manasseh Meyer bought Killiney House in 1890. He then rebuilt it and renamed it Belle Vue. Due to his staying in Oxley Rise, he established the Chesed-El Synagogue there. Belle Vue was demolished in 1982.
