Cardiff, Wales: Cardiff Railway Station, 1927
Although the exterior of Cardiff Station exhibits some Art Deco features, it is the beautiful ticket hall that really shines. While many of Cardiff's buildings from that era have vanished, thanks to liberal use of the wrecking ball, the Station is still in great shape and likely to be around for a while yet.
On a couple of the platforms can be found tile-clad waiting rooms in the color scheme of the old Great Western Railway - green, cream, and brown:
Cardiff Station is a real piece of class in an otherwise rather ugly part of the city.
