About

Splott is a residential district located directly east of Cardiff city centre, bounded by the railway lines and the River Taff. The area is characterised by dense rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with a mix of local shops and light industrial units along its main commercial streets. Its grid-like street pattern reflects its historical development as housing for dock and steelworks labourers. The district includes the large parkland of Splott Park, which provides recreational space.

A notable local landmark is the former Splott Market building, a large brick structure that has been repurposed over time. The area is also home to the Star Centre, a community hub. Its proximity to the operational Tremorfa industrial estate continues a long-standing relationship with local manufacturing. The ward has direct transport links into the city centre via several main roads and frequent bus services.
