Trade the drizzle for 32°C and neon-lit hawker stalls. Singapore is one of the easiest long-haul cities to land in, and right now it's also one of the cheapest to reach from London.

💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A full plate at a hawker centre, chicken rice, laksa, whatever you fancy, costs S$5-7, about £3. That's less than a meal deal from a London corner shop. A pint at a bar runs around S$12, about £7, roughly what you'd pay in Zone 1, except here it comes with a skyline view and food that actually justifies the trip.
☀️ The Weather
Singapore sits on the equator, so the temperature barely moves whatever month you go. Expect 31°C by day and a warm 24°C overnight, with short, heavy downpours most afternoons that clear within the hour. By November the rain picks up a little more, but it never gets in the way for long.
🏨 Where to Stay
Three ways to base yourself in Singapore.
ibis budget Singapore Ruby — 7.8/10 · From £40/night Compact, no-frills rooms with easy MRT access, ideal if you're spending your days out exploring anyway.
Andaz Singapore — 8.9/10 · From £140/night A rooftop pool over Kampong Glam and Bugis, with the city's best rooftop bar a lift ride away.
Shangri-La Singapore — 9.2/10 · From £280/night Fifteen acres of tropical gardens minutes from Orchard Road, built for slowing down between excursions.
🎯 What to Do
Singapore packs a lot into a small footprint.
Gardens by the Bay — Walk the Supertree Grove by day, come back after dark for the light show over the skyline.
Kampong Glam and the Sultan Mosque — Narrow streets, street art and the golden dome, a different side of the city entirely.
Chinatown Complex Food Centre — Over 200 hawker stalls under one roof, come hungry and order more than you think you need.
Marina Bay Sands SkyPark — The infinity pool is for guests only, but the observation deck gets you the same view for a fraction of the price.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Singapore is also the easiest launchpad into the rest of Southeast Asia.
Bintan — An Indonesian island of beach resorts, just a 45-70 minute ferry from Tanah Merah.
Johor Bahru — Malaysia's border city for cheap shopping and street food, 15-90 minutes over the causeway.
Kuala Lumpur — Twin Towers, night markets and a completely different pace, about an hour by air.
Bali — Rice terraces and beach clubs a short 1.5-3 hour flight away, worth stretching the trip for.
£357 return to Singapore with a stop doesn't hang around long on these routes. Lock your dates in before the fares climb back up.
