La Route de la Libération, Saint-Helier, Jersey JE2 3AS

  • Keith Richardsa year ago

    Ideal for a meeting place. Plenty of outdoor cafe and bistro type food outlets.

  • Яна Торбова2 years ago

    A nice monument reminding about Jersey`s liberation after WWII. The port and the main bus station are nearby.

  • PWa year ago

    The centrepiece of the square is The Jersey Liberation Monument. It is a striking and lifelike representation of the Jersey population waving the Union Flag when the British Armed Forces liberated them after five years of German occupation during World War Two. If you have any interest in history or the occupation of Jersey in World War Two, the look of relief that the statues display is totally understandable.
