What you'll see
An old river harbour turned into a car-free waterfront of warehouses, cafés and three striking office towers shaped like upside-down harbour cranes.
A brief history
The harbour opened in the late 1800s; when shipping moved elsewhere it was rebuilt from the 2000s, keeping the old cranes and warehouses.
