About the area:
The cultural landscape of Jersey – its Norman style farmhouses, the narrow winding lanes and small fields, the French street names – reflect a fascinating and complex history that has entwined the island in the fate of two great nations: Britain and France for over one thousand years.
Jersey is an international finance centre with 61 banks, over 33,000 registered companies and more than £100 billion deposited in the Island at any one time - 62% in foreign currency. Since Napoleonic times Jersey has attracted wealthy immigrants seeking to benefit from the Island's low income tax.
