Entrance to Somerset station.

Somerset MRT Station (NS23) is an underground station on the North South Line of the Mass Rapid Transit in Singapore, located at Somerset Road and Orchard Road. It was upgraded in 2002, the first phase of station upgrading works on the system. Somerset MRT Station was named in reference to an English playwright, novelist and short story writer, William Somerset Maugham. During his years in Singapore of the 1930s, Somerset has written a series of stories on Malaya, Borneo and Singapore while staying at Raffles Hotel.

To commemorate Total Defence Day in 2000, the Singapore Civil Defence Force conducted the first ever Shelter Open House at this station on 15 and 16 February, together with Tiong Bahru and Lavender stations.

[edit] Bomb hoax

A call was made from a public telephone at the concourse of the station at about 5p.m. on September 26, 2007 about a bomb at the station. The police have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with the incident two days later on the morning of September 28, 2007 after finding no bomb. ^[1]
