Splott

Once home to celebrities like John Humphrys, Shirley Bassey, and Clive Sullivan, Splott is a vibrant area with a strong sense of community and affordable housing. It's an excellent choice for first-time buyers and young families looking to rent.

Much of the housing in Splott is Victorian in origin, built during the expansion of Cardiff's iron and steel industry to accommodate factory workers.

The area also offers several leisure facilities, including the Rubicon Dance Centre, Esporta Health Club, and Star Hub, which is great for kids' parties and canoe courses.

It's the go-to spot for a good bargain, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. You'll find a wide variety of goods, from fresh fruit and vegetables to meat, clothing, shoes, handbags, sports equipment, books, toys, and household items - all at fantastic prices.
