Beautiful arcades.. Ideal for food and drink and a few nice independent shops
Paul Cotsen
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!
