About

St Thomas is a district and electoral ward in Swansea, Wales, located on the east bank of the River Tawe, immediately opposite Swansea city centre and the docks. The river forms a clear boundary and a riverside path runs along the bank, used by walkers and cyclists. The area is made up of residential streets, local shops, a primary school and a community centre, with pockets of open space that step down toward the river. Longstanding light industrial units and former warehouse plots sit alongside newer housing, reflecting a shift from industrial use to mixed urban functions.

Local movement is shaped by a small network of bridges and roads that link St Thomas with the city centre and suburbs to the east. The land rises gently away from the river toward Kilvey Hill, offering different street levels within a short distance. Community groups use the riverside and green spaces for events and conservation, and small, local businesses on St Thomas Road provide daily services for residents. The combination of river edge and traditional street pattern gives the area its recognizable layout.
