St Helier Jersey my opinion of this having travelled here 4 times in the past two years is a mixed opinion.

St Helier is not my favourite of Jersey Parishes as it is very busy place packed with holiday makers, locals, finance business people working here and polish portuguese immigrants workers.
St Helier has numerous interesting shops and stores and many English famous ones such as Marks n Spencers, Boots, Woolworths, BHS, Lancashire Linens, and some big stores and two markets one is an excellent fish market with very good fish restaurant serving up lobster and various shell fish and the other market sells flowers, veg, fruit, has a christian shop, antique shop, toy shop and jewelry shop and many good cafeterias and is a great place to buy dinner time snack such as a delicious pie pizza, sausage roll, cake etc to take away and here in the
capital city St Helier there are many restaurants cafes diners and take aways incl Hectors fish n chip shop and foreign food pizzas
cafes and many hotels from 1 star to 4 star often in parts of st helier which is a little run down where many polish portuguese workers work here seasonal or live here permanently and have noticed not many english work in the hotels mostly are from poland and portuguese and polish people here are friendly and very pleasant and hard working working long hours

St Helier has a wonderful multi complex cinema, waterfront place which has a wonderful bar/cafe serving cocktails and meals and in the Waterfront which has lots to offer incl a cafe
pizza place etc and there is a sports centre at Fort Regent and a nice sea side front and various parks and puddle duck boats that go to the castle and nearby you can hire a bicycle or get a ferry to Guernsey Sark Herm or Alderney

OK - lost it's charm - but that is progress. Popular with elderly persons.

The weather was awful for the 5 days we were there but we still really enjoyed it. St helier is full of shops, resturants and pubs and all the staff are very friendly and helpfull. In fact the all people of Jersey seem to be much friendlier and courtous than back in the UK. St Helier has a lot of building work going on and will be much better when it is finished. Nightlife was very quiet on week days but very lively on a weekend. The prices of drinks and food are very similer to the UK.
The underground hospital is a must and the living legends was very good as well. The bus service is good and there as a land train which gives a commentry as it take you round the bay.
We would hav e visited more places but the constant rain put us off a bit. I would certainly reccommend this place to anyone.
