Cross over the Taff outside the main entrance to Cardiff Central station and you step onto Tudor Street.
One of the main arteries heading in and out of the city thousands use it every day to drive, walk and cycle into the Welsh capital (when there are no roadworks). What most of these people don't know is that there is a back road running parallel to this road called Tudor Lane.
Though only 150m from all the massive developments in the city centre, walking into the lane is like walking into a different world. Though it doesn't have the grandeur of the new developments across the river, this lane beautifully encapsulates many of the things that are great about Cardiff. The randomness, creativity, warmth, entrepreneurship, the oddities and diversity. As one of the occupiers of the lane said: "It has soul".
