Statue Square Review

The land was gifted to the public by the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank (HSBC, whose headquarters dominate the southern end), with the proviso that nothing built on it could block the bank's view of the water. The Victorian-Chinese hybrid building on Statue Square's east side was built for the Supreme Court in 1912 and is now home to the 70-member Legislative Council (LegCo), often the focus of the demonstrations that have become a fixture of Hong Kong life since 1997. In front of the council building is the Cenotaph, a monument to all who lost their lives in the two World Wars.
