Callaghan Square

The office buildings in Callaghan Square comprise what some call Cardiff’s financial district, but I know this area as the shortcut to the most boring street in the city, Lloyd George Avenue.
The square was built in 1999 and is now home to a few notable companies including British Gas and Eversheds, in addition to many other organisations. Named after the former Cardiff MP and Labour Prime Minister, Callaghan Square was constructed in conjunction with neighbouring Lloyd George Avenue in order to link the city centre with the newly-​regenerated Cardiff Bay.
The square boasts a statue of the Marquis of Bute, as well as several water features, making it a pleasant area to enjoy a quick lunch away from the office or watch one of the many impromptu skateboarding demonstrations on a warm summer day.
According to Wales Online, the Council is drawing up plans for a Callaghan Square expansion that will see the removal of the two main carriageways around the roundabout. Plans also include building a new, larger railway bridge that will (hopefully!) alleviate traffic congestion around the square towards Lloyd George Avenue, while improving the connections between the city centre and Cardiff Bay.
