Cardiff ShoppingCardiff certainly provides when it comes to shopping and numerous precincts are connected with each other in the city centre. With many hundreds of independently owned stores selling unusual goods, French fashion boutiques and Italian furniture stores, Cardiff is also home to many of the high-street favourites, such as Marks and Spencer, BHS and Howells department store, part of the House of Fraser shopping chain. There are also a number of specialist shops here, including jewellers, art galleries, antiques shops and gift shops.

The famous, family-run David Morgan department store, in central Cardiff, is actually the largest independent shop in Wales and if full excellent facilities, fashions, furnishings and places to eat. There are impressive new shopping centres with modern architecture, contrasting with the city's more historic Edwardian and Victorian arcades, located on the High Street and St. Mary's Street. Worth noting, compulsory carrier bag charges were introduced throughout Wales in October 2011, to encourage carrier bags to be reused.
