"Victoria Square" Victoria Square Tip by vago1

Victoria Square, Birmingham: 20 reviews and 35 photos

 
 

This square has transformed over the past decade from a grassy slope where office workers would picnic on a summer's afternoon to a pedestrian-friendly European plaza accessible all year. Birmingham's Town Hall and Council House are located on the square, but graded steps replace the slope and there's now a large fountain containing a sculpture known fondly by locals as "the Floozie in the Jacuzzi." Stone lamps and statues of sphinxes adorn the grounds, as does a statue of Queen Victoria. Victoria Square has now become a popular meeting point and relaxing place to people watch.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
