Beauty World Market was an open-air market that was opened in July 1947 in Singapore. It was located at the junction of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Jalan Jurong Kechil. Just next to it was Beauty World Town, another shopping place was opened in 1962. It was located at the junction of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Chun Tin Road.[1] Both shopping areas were completely demolished by 1984 due to frequent fire outbreaks.[2][3] The original site of the market had since been occupied by two Parking lots and Beauty World MRT Station.
