Author tip

The Eastern Docklands features some of the most cutting-edge architecture in Europe. There are some strikingly modern apartment blocks, but our favourite location is Scheepstimmermanstraat, where owners were given free reign to design their homes.

Curious fact

What a history! The Lloyd was built to give KHL shipping company an edge in transporting steerage passengers to the US. Emigrants could wait in relative comfort for their boat. In WWII the Nazis used it as a prison, a use that the government continued until 1989. Then it was used as artists spaces before being reborn as a hotel charging rates higher than the cost of a third-class boat trip to the US.
