Commercial Office Space to Rent in Cardiff & Serviced Offices to Let in Cardiff

Cardiff is the capital, largest city and most populous county of Wales. The population is 324,800, while the wider metropolitan area has a population of nearly 1.1 million. The city of Cardiff is in the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan. Archaeological evidence shows that Neolithic people settled in the area by at least around 6,000 BP (Before Present), about 1,500 years before either Stonehenge or the Great Pyramid of Giza was completed.

The town grew rapidly after 1830, when the docks were built linking to the Taff Vale Railway.  Cardiff became the main port for exports of coal, and grew at a rate of nearly 80% per decade between 1840 and 1870. At its peak, Cardiff's port area, known as Tiger Bay, became the busiest port in the world and the world's most important coal port. Today, Cardiff is the principal finance and business services centre in Wales.

Granted city status in 1905 and proclaimed capital of Wales in 1955, Cardiff is bordered to the west by the rural district of the Vale of Glamorgan, to the east by the city of Newport, to the north by the South Wales Valleys and to the south by the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel. ‘Inner Cardiff’ consists of the following wards: Penylan, Plasnewydd, Gabalfa, Roath, Cathays, Adamsdown and Splott ward on the north and east of the city centre, and Butetown, Grangetown, Riverside and Canton to the south and west.

Cardiff is the main engine of growth in the Welsh economy. Notable companies such as Legal & General, Admiral Insurance, HBOS, Zurich, ING Direct, The AA, Principality Building Society, 118118, British Gas, Brains, SWALEC Energy and BT, all operate large national or regional headquarters and contact centres in the city. Other major employers include NHS Wales and the National Assembly for Wales.

Cardiff is the one of the most popular tourist destination cities in the United Kingdom, with around 12 million visitors each year. Cardiff has many landmark buildings such as the Millennium Stadium, Pierhead Building and the National Assembly for Wales. However Cardiff is also famous for Cardiff Castle, St David's Hall, Llandaff Cathedral and the Wales Millennium Centre.

Voted the sixth best city in the UK for shopping, Cardiff surpassed other cities such as Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne. Cardiff is also home to the UK's largest film, TV and multimedia sector outside London. Cardiff hosts many high-profile sporting events, and in recognition of the city's commitment to sport, the city of Cardiff has been awarded the title of European City of Sport 2009.

Notable people from Cardiff include Roald Dahl and Griff Rhys Jones. The city has been home to many sports stars such as Tanni Grey-Thompson and Colin Jackson as well as many footballers, such as Gareth Bale, Craig Bellamy, Ryan Giggs and the current manager of the Wales national football team John Toshack. Musicians such as Ivor Novello, Shirley Bassey, Charlotte Church and Shakin' Stevens all hailed from Cardiff.
