This website is
meant for English speaking inhabitants, travellers, business people and
tourists staying in the Eastern Dockland area or visiting the
docklands. It gives a comprehensive view of the area. It is useful to
get a general impression of the area and it is a starting point for
learning more about the Eastern Docklands.
The information
about layout and architecture was gathered from specialized websites,
press publications and municipal information.
The information
about facilities, social life and nightlife offers an overview of the
situation in the Eastern Docklands. We have mentioned the most
important facilities and the most attractive restaurants, cafes and
clubs, according to my own tastes and experience. Other websites offer
more specific
business information, but no comprehensive view of the area.
The chapter on
urban and outdoors leisure mentions the most important possibilities in
the area.
The history
chapter is based on information from
the Docklands Museum, the International Institute of Social
History, the Scheepvaart Museum and the municipality.
This website was
made in november and december 2002.
