Leighton Road

Leighton Road is a main road in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. It begins east of Causeway Road and ends at the west of the junction with Morrison Hill Road and Canal Road.

History

Part of the road skirts Leighton Hill to its north while part of it runs along Lee Garden, known as Jardine's Hill in early colonial days. The area adjacent to the road is relatively quiet compared to the business centre of East Point of Causeway Bay.
There was a Zoroastrian Church on Leighton Road between 1931 and 1991, which was later demolished and rebuilt as the Zoroastrian Building in 1993, with the church on the fifth floor.
