Summary

Description

The Queen's Vaults - Westgate Street, Cardiff. It is opposite the Millennium Stadium.

On the 11th June 2015, there was a high police presence, due to the visit of the Queen to the stadium (to unveil a new Welsh regiment I think). Believe that there was also a parade to Cardiff Castle that day as well.

Was also spectators on Westgate Street.


With the visit of Queen Elizabeth II that day, I found this pub with an image of Queen Victoria nearby!


On the corner with Golate.


Grade II listed building.
