About

South Riverside sits on the western bank of the River Taff, directly across from Cardiff city centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. It functions as a practical residential zone for the city, with local shops and services concentrated along its main thoroughfares. The district's proximity to the river and the city centre defines its layout and daily rhythm.

The area is notably home to the Principality Stadium, whose distinctive retractable roof dominates the skyline. This major venue influences the local atmosphere on event days. Riverside Market, a regular community fixture, operates near the river. Green space is provided by Grange Gardens, a sloping park offering views across the city. The Taff Trail runs along the riverbank, providing a direct route for cyclists and pedestrians into the city centre.
