What's wrong with Penarth?
I worked as a receptionist in Southgate House around that time for a financial institution that was constantly asked for mortgage finance on that house on Fitzhamon that was collapsing. It got so that I could tell just from picking up the phone who was asking us to lend money on that pile of bricks. Amazingly, someone did finally manage to restore it I see.

Penarth if fucking lovely -
Lovely old Victorian seaside place with the old houses and the iron railings everywhere. Like a postcard. Some of the houses there sell for more than they do in Kensignton, so I'm told. Absolutely nothing wrong with Penarth. But Riverside on the other hand...

True on all counts.
There's a house in its own grounds overlooking Cardiff Bay currently on the market for well over a million. Actually, there's quite a few on Marine Parade for sale at the same price.

You could probably buy the whole of Riverside and have change enough to buy much of Splott for the same price.
