This converted warehouse houses luxurious apartments now, so differently to the Albert Dock there is nothing here for tourists to see or visit really.
However, as an example of a successful restoration of a disused maritime building this is of architectural interest, and worthwhile the detour if you are going to see the Albert Dock anyway. It is slightly less impressive now though that the river view is gone and a huge multi-storey car park and a busy dual carriageway are the only views you get from here…
However there is nowhere to eat here or have a coffee, so had back to the Albert Dock for refreshments (recommended: Pizza Express, Gusto, but avoid Ha! Ha! Canteen) or across the road to the Baltic Fleet pub.
