One of Cardiff's quaint Victorian shopping arcades. Plenty of clothing and footwear outlets to be found although it is less grand than it was in the past. I spent some time in one of the very few specialist camera shops left anywhere. Camera Centre. Still the place to head for if you are serious about photography. There is an amazing bespoke shoe shop and even a small shop selling Redwing shoes. Rather nice for a mooch.

Arcade of Treasures! Plenty of great, indie shops 🧣🧥👞🛋️📿, cafés ☕ and eateries 🌮🍜🍱 with my favourites as The Best Deli Welsh shop - Wally's or Vietnamese Restaurant set up in Victorian 🎩 interior. Well worth to at least walk through when visiting Cardiff as Victorian Arcades Trail can not be completed without Royal 👑 one!

FW Homestores Cardiff is a Cardiff-based furniture and home goods store at 32 Hadfield Rd. Reviews highlight welcoming staff and refreshments, with Dan noted for helpful, patient guidance while choosing sofas. The shop carries a varied range, including Welsh suppliers, and offers competitive delivery, though some customers report warranty-related service concerns.
