Geylang (Chinese: 芽笼, Tamil: கேலாங்) is a planning area and township located on the eastern fringe of the Central Region of Singapore. It is bordered by Hougang and Toa Payoh to the north, Marine Parade to the south, Bedok to the east and Kallang to the west.
Situated just outside Singapore's Central Business District, Geylang is well served by the country's transport network. Geylang Road and Sims Avenue are major roads that run through the area, connecting Geylang with Kallang and the Central Area in the west, as well as Bedok and Changi in the east. Six Mass Rapid Transit stations serve the town, Aljunied, Dakota, Eunos, MacPherson, Mountbatten and Paya Lebar.
