Everything about Ocean Terminal Edinburgh totally explained
Ocean Terminal in
Edinburgh,
Scotland is a
shopping centre, designed by
Sir Terence Conran.
It is built on former industrial docklands on the north side of the city at the edge of the boundary between formerly separate ports of
Newhaven and
Leith. The land was formerly occupied by the
Henry Robb shipyard, which closed in 1983. Since then, the entire area has undergone
urban renewal and regeneration, much led by and on the lands in the ownership of,
Forth Ports and its predecessors.
These and other developments have played key parts in the regeneration of
Leith. The now decommissioned
Royal Yacht Britannia, which is accessed via the Britannia Visitor Centre within Ocean Terminal, is permanently berthed next to the building and can be viewed from the Terminal.
The berth currently occupied by Britannia was originally planned to handle cruise liners. As Britannia is now permanently moored alongside the ocean terminal, Forth Ports Plc plan to build another terminal for cruise liners.
Bhs and
Debenhams are the Terminal's anchor stores, in total there are some 85 stores, 4 restaurants,and 3 coffee shops stores, a variety of bars, as well as a cinema
Vue and a day spa.
There is ample car parking, and the centre is served by Lothian services 1, 11, 22, 34, 35 & 36. From 2011 the centre will be served by the
Edinburgh tram network.
A proposal to extend Ocean Terminal by building a new wing built on land reclaimed from the port has already been mooted.
Its post code is EH6 6JJ.
