A sweet little cafe just round the corner from Marble Arch in a cute, quiet and rather fancy area.
They make sandwiches to order with a choice of sliced bread, bagels, baguettes or bagels all priced between £1.50 and £4. They also serve salads, quiche and soups.
There is a reasonable selection of sweet things like cakes and pastries. Coffee is quite good, and generally everything is much, much cheaper than Patisserie Valerie up the road. Also, the service is a bit smilier.
The seats inside are cosy and bright, airy too. You can also sit outside in the sun. It feels quite continental.

A great place for a massive fry up.
Loads of students live in Uplands and many of them frequent the Uplands Diner. They have a (I would say perhaps unneccesarily) huge range of breakfast options from tea and toast to 'The Beast’ mentioned in the review below. All very reasonably priced.
They also have electrical sockets by the tables so you can charge your phone up or plug your laptop in. Tidy.

A theatre that occupies the space where a Victorian swimming pool used to be. You find it by wandering around the windy little lanes off Fleet Street - it’s part of the Bridewell Institute.
There are a lot of lunchtime shows for city workers, but also productions that happen in the evenings in this space oozing with character.
There’s a bar downstairs in the basement which was deliciously warm last night, and a real escape from the freezing cold outside. Beautiful bar staff and good value drinks.

As a huge Ospreys fan I am a bit biased with regard to the Liberty Stadium. When getting the train back to Swansea the train rolls past the stadium and it always makes me feel excited to be back home to see the bright clean lines of the newly built stadium. It’s like a mini Millenium.
I took my cousins to see the Christmas match against the Scarlets - buying tickets in the family stand is pretty good value - and as someone else pointed out in their review, the design of the stadium means that nearly every seat has a terrific view.
The park n ride is convenient and efficient, although the traffic when leaving is unbearable - so I’d suggest grabbing a drink or bite from one of the nearby restaurants before attempting to leave.
I just walk to my gran’s house of course.
The superstore sells a fabulous range of Swansea City FC and Ospreys merchandise.

I have to agree with the review below. For a station that millions of tourists and city workers use, it’s just not up to scratch. It should be swisher, cleaner and more modern.
The main thing I find annoying is that I always find it disorientating coming out of the station and have to spend a moment figuring out which way is which. There should be more clear signs and directions.
The Central line is usually pretty reliable and quick though.
