The Penny Black Victorian London Pub is without doubt the quintessential Victorian Public House. Located at the Raffles Place entrance to Boat Quay, one of Singapore's most colourful and vibrant river front entertainment zones, The Penny Black provides a grand façade at the gateway to the Singapore River Promenade.

The name "Penny Black" is derived from the World's first ever self-adhesive postage stamp which was printed black in colour and sold for one penny and was first issued on the 6th May 1840.
