Whitty Street

Whitty Street (Chinese: 屈地街) is a street in Shek Tong Tsui, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The street was named after an employee of Hong Kong and China Gas Company. The street is famous because it is one of seven terminals of the Hong Kong Tramway. The road starts from Queen's Road West, crossing Des Voeux Road West and ends in Connaught Road West.

In the 1970s, there was a plan for an MTR station (named Whitty Station) to be built beneath the street for the residents of Shek Tong Tsui. Space is reserved for the exit of the future station. Nonetheless, the plan has never come to fruition. A new plan suggests that a station would be built near a private housing estate The Belcher's instead of Whitty
