Haven’t lived there in a while but I lived in Canton (before it was cool ;) ) that’s along the cowbridge rd also Pontcanna (when it was cool) that’s on the west of the city. About a mile from the centre.
Chapter Arts centre used to be the hub of activity for me. Cinema, art,bar,evening classes, gigsI lived in Grangetown too which was ok but not sure you just wanna wander aimlessly around bits of that.

Grangetown is pretty 'up and coming' (eurgh) from what I've heard. Well my mate has just moved there and I think they have some kind of new community 'hub'. Developments have stalled a bit on the old brains site, but they're still going ahead in some form. With that and the new affordable housing and bridge the Council have announced there could be a lot of improvements in the area in the next few years. Canton/Pontcanna: nice but pricey.

Thank you!
It's still definitely front of mind for me. I've got this Friday off work so am weighing up visiting to try and get a feel for the place. I know it's technically against the guidelines, but I live alone, have no real social contact and would just spend the time walking around the city before crashing at a Premier Inn.
Would you/anyone else familiar with the area be able to list a few different areas that I should explore over the course of a day on foot?
