Overlooking the central piazza of this highly popular bar and restaurant area - one of Cardiff's liveliest meeting venues. Set at the south end of St. Mary Street, an entertaining nightlife is guaranteed, with locations such as Nando's, Walkabout, The Yard, Bella Italia, Chiquito's, and La Tasca, all within a hundred yards. Constructed on the original 1882 site of the famous Brains Brewery, both developments in this totally reconstructed area retain the flavour of that industry, being named Dray (after the horses used to pull the beer wagons) and Malt (one of the principal ingredients in the brewing process). Being set in one of the oldest areas of Cardiff, the surroundings abound with small specialist shops, and some often-overlooked places of historical interest. The Royal Hotel in St. Mary Street provides an historic example as the location for Captain Scott's last meal with his party before setting off on the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of 1910. His ship, the Terra Nova, now provides the name for one of the principal restaurants at Mermaid Quay, some 15 minutes walk from the Brewery Quarter location.

For those wishing to be close to the city centre, but needing a quiet location, Edward England Wharf is ideal. Positioned just a five minute walk away from Cardiff city centre, and within ten minutes of the restaurant and entertainment area of the Bay, its location would be difficult to improve upon for proximity to both. This gated development offers security, comfort, and a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city. The apartments are most suitable for corporate visitors, and those requiring a calm location during a relaxing leisure stay. The 7 shopping arcades of Cardiff, including the brand new £675m shopping centre and John Lewis store, the historic Castle attractions, the National Museum, and the new 90,000 book Central Library, are all within 15 minutes walking distance of this development.

The Meridian Gate Apartments are in the heart of the city, on Bute Terrace, near the new John Lewis development and next door to a 4 star Radisson Hotel.
