🎉 Canton in Cardiff has made it to Time Out’s list of the UK’s coolest neighbourhoods, ranking an impressive third! 🎉
Move over big names like Camberwell in London and Digbeth in Birmingham; this vibrant area in the Welsh capital is making waves with its buzzing atmosphere and strong community spirit. Known for its eclectic mix of trendy coffee spots and diverse eateries, Canton is not just a stopover for football fans heading to the nearby Cardiff City Stadium anymore.
Stroll 30 minutes from Cardiff city centre and find yourself exploring a lively neighbourhood filled with gems like the iconic Chapter Arts Centre, where you can catch indie films or enjoy a vogue ball alongside a sipping cocktail. Don’t miss grabbing a cuppa at favourites like Hard Lines Coffee or picking up delicious brunch offerings at Ffloc.
✨ Tip for the locals: While new bakeries are popping up, Brutons The Bakers remains a beloved staple since 1898, especially famous for their legendary chocolate ring doughnuts. 🍩
Despite Canton’s acclaim, it faces challenges like anti-social behaviour on Cowbridge Road East. The community continues to rally together to tackle these issues, adding resilience to its list of charms.
The list also shines a light on places like London Road in Brighton, Cotham in Bristol, Ancoats in Manchester, and Finnieston in Glasgow. Globally, they even sit among world neighbourhood icons like Jimbōchō in Tokyo!
Come explore Canton, where the old effortlessly mingles with the new, and discover why this little slice of Cardiff is turning heads and winning hearts. ❤️ #CoolestNeighbourhoods #ExploreCanton #CardiffMagic
