🦶🏻 Visiting on Foot

Lots of people choose to visit us on foot and we're only a 15 minute walk from the Castle!

We'd recommend this route if walking from the city centre but theres loads of ways to get to us.

If you're walking from Cathays we're literally right on your doorstep!

🚆 Visiting Via Train

We're very well connected by train! When travelling to Cardiff, if you're able to get off at the Cathays train station this lands you right in the heart of student-ville and only a short few minute walk to us (directions)

Or if you're visiting Cardiff from further afield and find yourself at Cardiff Central, you can catch a train for around £4 that takes you to Cathays train station. They tend to be every 10 minutes and the journey only takes 7 minutes

OR if you want to stretch your legs its only about a 25 or so minute walk from Cardiff Central (directions)

🚗 Visiting via car

Heading down Salisbury Road away from the city centre, take a left down Wyvernne Road and travel down until you see the Cons Club (its a big old pub with a mural of cards and balloons and stuff on the front)

Opposite that theres a lane with loads of tyres outside that looks like it only leads to a garage but if you follow it a little bit further you'll find a secret vintage warehouse!

We do have a small car park at the entrance of this lane with two allocated spaces however these are often full. We'd recommend parking on one of the nearby side streets if theres no room!

🚲 Visiting Via Bicycle

If you're bringing your own bicycle people tend to lock it to the metal stairs just outside our warehouse.

🚕 Visiting Via Taxi

If you're in the city centre already we'd recommend just walking but an Uber from the city centre is relatively cheap and is usually around £6

You can also grab a black cab though this sometimes works out a little more expensive. We'd recommend the taxi station under the bridge near the central train station.

Heads up! Black cabs in Cardiff often dont take card. Tell them to go to The Cons Club on Fitzroy Street - CF24 4BL

🚌 Visiting Via Bus

If you're already in the city centre we wouldn't recommend going to the trouble to get a bus, walking to us would be quicker

A single ticket costs £2.50 or you can also purchase a day to go for £4.50.
