About

St Thomas ward lies directly across the River Tawe from Swansea city centre, creating a distinct neighbourhood with its own character. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing alongside more modern developments. Its proximity to the city is defined by the several bridges that connect it, making it a practical location for commuting. The community is anchored by local shops and services along streets like St Thomas Road.

A notable landmark is the historic floating dock, a visible reminder of the area's maritime heritage. Green spaces include the expansive Brynmill Park, which stretches into the neighbouring ward, providing recreational space. The area functions as a residential gateway to the city, with a settled community and straightforward urban layout.
