St John's Church - in June 2005 the Vicar Keith Kimber installed a wireless broadband hotspot for worshippers giving the congregation access to a quiet BT Openzone corner where they can send or receive e-mails or surf the Internet.

Owain Glyndwr pub, St Johns Square. One of the oldest pubs in Cardiff, the bar was known for years as The Buccaneer and used to be quite a lively number too.

Statue of Aneurin Bevan, the son of a Tredegar miner, and the man credited with creating the National Health Service. Bevan died in 1960, but is remembered as one of the political greats - so much so that he won a 2004 online poll to name the greatest Welsh Hero of all time.

Opened by the South Wales Railway in 1850, it was taken over by the Great Western Railway who rebuilt it in 1932. Thankfully, these unusual tiled platform signs have survived recently modernisation.
