New Cardiff Bay Arena
New Cardiff Bay Arena, also referred to as Atlantic Wharf Arena, is a planned indoor arena to be located in Atlantic Wharf, a southern area of the city of Cardiff, Wales. The multi-purpose 15,000-capacity arena will be built on a site near to Cardiff Bay's Wales Millennium Centre (WMC) and is expected to open in 2027. It forms part of a wider masterplan to regenerate the city's wharf area with a large mixed-use development. Following a number of delays, work is projected to start in 2025 and is expected to be undertaken in four phases over multiple years: the first being the construction of the new arena, WMC's digital and "immersive" arts theatre, a replacement hotel and multi-storey car park followed by the relocation of the Red Dragon Centre's tenants into a new complex. The third phase of the masterplan would include a new office space delivered along with an additional hotel and finally new homes and apartments, with potential for more commercial space; the latter neighbou ...

Lloyd George Avenue
Lloyd George Avenue (), originally known as Bute Avenue, is an avenue in Cardiff, Wales. Roughly one mile long, the road links the Inner Harbour of Cardiff Bay to Cardiff city centre and forms part of the A470 road. It runs parallel to Bute Street and the Butetown Branch Line. Landscaping on the route was completed in 2000, and it was renamed after the Liberal prime minister David Lloyd George. The site of the avenue had been known as Collingdon Road, which was described as a "grimy industrial area of small factories and workshops, employing hundreds of people". The original concept, a scheme by Cardiff Bay Development Corporation (CBDC), envisaged the removal of the railway line along Bute Street to create a continental-style boulevard, initially named Bute Avenue, with a Light Rapid Transit system, a park and recreational facilities. The Welsh Office required the CBDC to use the Private Finance Initiative to construct Bute Avenue. Due to high costs, the LRT element of the ...
