About

Butetown is a district located immediately south of Cardiff city centre, bordered by the River Taff to the west and Cardiff Bay to the south. Historically known as Tiger Bay, its development was directly shaped by the city's docks, creating a distinct street grid and architectural character. The area's residential streets mix Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with more modern developments, reflecting its long evolution as a port community.

The area is directly connected to the waterfront of Cardiff Bay, with Lloyd George Avenue serving as a main thoroughfare. Butetown is home to the Wales Millennium Centre and the Senedd, the devolved parliament building. Its history as a global port fostered one of the UK's oldest multicultural communities, a heritage still evident in its local businesses and community institutions.
