圍繞皇后廣場,從北順時針方向依次為新南威爾斯州最高法院英語Supreme Court of New South Wales雪梨鑄幣局英語Sydney Mint[1][2]、獲聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產海德公園軍營英語Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney[3][4]註冊總署洋樓英語Registrar-General's building[5]海德公園[6]聖公會聖雅各堂[7]雪梨法學院英語Sydney Law School。除最高法院及雪梨法學院外,這些建築都已列入文物名錄,大多建於18世紀及19世紀。

維多利亞女皇銅像矗立在廣場西南角,面向北邊的最高法院。亞厘畢親王銅像矗立在東南角,面向麥覺理街對面的女皇像。

因靠近最高法院及議會大廈,此地常有示威活動。

19世紀初,紐修威省總督麥覺理規劃在此地建造公眾廣場。廣場初名為英皇廣場(King's Square),1837年隨維多利亞女皇登基更名為皇后廣場。[9]1888年,紐修威省總督夫人卡靈頓勳爵夫人為女皇像揭幕,以慶祝澳洲百年國慶。女皇像位於一圈道路的中間,沿路曾有環形電車軌道。[9]1970年代末,最高法院大樓建成後,京街在夾菲臘街處終止,菲臘街與麥覺理街之間的京街路段成為廣場的一部分。[10]
