Royal Square
St Helier 30 min Verified 2026-06
Cobbled historic square at the heart of St Helier, ringed by the States Chamber and Royal Court.
The story
Royal Square has been the civic heart of St Helier for more than 700 years. It hosts the States Assembly, the Royal Court and a gilded statue of King George II, and a discreet 'V' carved into the granite marks the spot where Allied airmen scratched the symbol during the German Occupation.
What to expect
Compact, atmospheric and free — pretty much every chapter of Jersey's history happened on these cobbles.
Good to know
Cafés around the edges; the States debates are open to the public when sitting.
