The Pumping Station

A great place to browse antiques & new items. My wife and I spent a few hours looking around. There a four floors to explore. Unfortunately for wheelchair users, there is no lift, so you will be only able to look around the first floor. Well worth a visit.

To me, as someone who enjoys flea markets, antiques and vintage shopping, this place is heavenly. The sheer number of items you can find here is incredible. At first glance some of the prices here seem slightly higher than elsewhere but there is a variety in affordability.

The location is a tad out of the way and it's a many levelled labyrinth and you'll want to put some time aside. As a disabled person, this is not the easiest place to be. I am wheelchair user but can walk a bit with a cane so with help from someone, I can get up the stairs and navigate most of it by chair. I believe that they can't get permission to add a lift and the people who work there are very kind and friendly and I don't blame them at all.

There is a cafe in the bowels of the place along with a fortune teller and a huge lion taxidermy. This floor is cobbled, as a street.

It's a great place to come whether you are trying to find some unusual pieces for your home or find a gift or just spend time somewhere with lots of character.

There's so much to see at the Pumping Station on Penarth Road, Cardiff ☺
Give yourself a couple of hours to see all the different areas inside, then have a cuppa and some good old fashioned food, (the basics - well cooked at good old fashioned prices I mean).

Amazing place to visit. Lots of beautiful items to browse on several floors.

Loved it! Lots of beautiful things, reasonably priced too. Sellers were helpful and easy to talk too. Would visit again!

It's an Aladins cave of everything you can imagine. From Victorian antiques to more modern times. You can find anything you can imagine. Fantastic staff and helpful if you are looking for items to be repaired or replaced.

I love this place lots of antiques. If you got any coins or medals then ask for Paul and he will give you a good deal, very trust worthy.

Great place to walk about and shop. Plenty of variety of antique stalls worth a look around if you have a spare fee hours .
