Cardiff Bay Visitor Centre (known informally as "the Tube") was a piece of modern architecture designed by the architect Will Alsop for Cardiff Bay, Wales, in 1990. It was finally dismantled in 2010. A panel of architectural experts has said the building "single-handedly put Cardiff on the architectural map".
