Statue Square
Originally named Royal Square, Statue Square was the first public venue to be built on reclaimed land in the late 19th century. A statue of Queen Victoria was erected here in 1896 to commemorate her Golden Jubilee, but relocated to Victoria Park in Causeway Bay in 1957. The only statue now standing in the square is that of Sir Thomas Jackson, the chief manager of the HSBC Limited in its early years.
