Just like how some Singaporeans never miss the opening of a new MRT station, there are also those who make it a point to check out the latest shopping malls. Some may say it’s for the free aircon to escape the heat, while others just want to see see look look before everyone else. Whatever it is, we can all agree there’s a thrill in saying “been there, done that.”
So if you’ve already made your rounds at Punggol Coast Mall and the newly reopened The Cathay, it’s time to add ICON Link@ClubStreet to your list.

ICON Link@ClubStreet is an underground shopping mall spanning almost 20,000 sqft that’s tucked beneath the Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre hotel. It’s nestled within Chinatown and the CBD – a prime spot for office workers looking for a convenient lunch fix or a quick errand run in between meetings.
Similar to other malls, ICON Link@ClubStreet is also connected to MRT stations for easy access. This is great, especially if you’re not a fan of sweating it out under Singapore’s sun.
The easiest way to get to the mall is via Telok Ayer MRT on the Downtown Line – take exit E, walk straight, and you’ll find yourself at the entrance in no time.
There’s also an upcoming link from exit F of Chinatown MRT, making it even more accessible in the future.
