Victoria Square

Victoria Square, Public square in Birmingham, England

Victoria Square is a pedestrianised public square in central Birmingham, England, surrounded by the Town Hall, the Council House, and other buildings. It features a large paved area of red brick, stepped stone terraces, and a water feature with a pool and jets, and it serves as the point from which local road distances are measured.

Originally known as Council House Square, it was renamed in 1901 to honour Queen Victoria shortly before her death. The area was redeveloped in the early 1990s into a pedestrian square with a fountain, and it has since undergone changes including the restoration of the water feature in 2022.

The square is named after Queen Victoria, and her statue stands near the Council House, drawing visitors who come to see the mix of old and new public art. It also hosts the annual Frankfurt Christmas Market, when wooden huts fill the space and the city's Christmas tree is set up.

The square is easy to reach on foot from nearby bus and train stations, and its flat, paved surfaces make it accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Visitors can use it as a starting point to explore the surrounding area, including Chamberlain Square and the shopping district.

The square is the point from which all local road distances are measured, making it the official centre of Birmingham. In 2018, workers uncovered a cobbled street beneath the square during construction work.
