Why go
The pedestrianised square brings Birmingham’s civic buildings into one easily understood setting. The Town Hall and Council House provide the main architectural contrast, while the Queen Victoria statue gives the square a historical focus. Its connection with Chamberlain Square makes the pair more rewarding than either viewed as an isolated photo stop.
What to look for
- The Town Hall and Council House face the pedestrianised civic space.
- The Queen Victoria statue marks the figure honoured in the square’s name.
Useful to know
- Continue to Chamberlain Square to compare the civic buildings from another angle.
- Allow for diversions around temporary event barriers when crossing the square.
