Arbuthnot Road (Chinese: 亞畢諾道) is a road inCentral, Hong Kong. The road begins at theFormer Central Magistracy, adeclared monument of Hong Kong.[1] The road ends at theHong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens.
Most of the roads built and declared at the outset incolonial Hong Kong in 1841 were close to the waterfront. The Magistracy was not established until 1847 and the land on which it was built was previously largely unoccupied. Arbuthnot Road is rather inclined, and runs betweenHollywood Road andCaine Road, the latter of which was not named until 1859. It is likely that it was not named or created until the 1850s or later; it was named afterGeorge Arbuthnot.[2]
