Novena is an underground station on the North South Line. Some locations near this station are Novena Square, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.

History
The working name for this station was Thomson Road. In 1985, it was renamed to Novena. The name comes from the Novena Church as they had 'Novenas' (Novena means nine in Latin) which were prayers for nine days in a row.

There have been refurbishments since 2000 due to the disabled access from the Tan Tock Seng Hospital. This station used to have green tiles but were falling suddenly in 2005. The station then finished refurbishments in 2007.
