Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and one of the leading commercial and retail centres in the UK. The City has an urban area population of 305,000 (2001 census) and a primary catchment of 1,200,000 ranking the city 6th in the UK (PROMIS). Located 144 miles west of London, Cardiff is ranked as the 6th strongest retail centre in the UK (Experian). The city centre provides an attractive retailing environment and accommodates most of the major retailers, including large stores occupied by House of Fraser (Howells), Marks & Spencer, BHS, Boots and Debenhams. In addition, both Next and TopShop chose Cardiff to launch their large store formats and both occupy substantial stores on the pedestrianised Queen Street, the focus of the city’s retail offer.
