Ocean Terminal, Edinburgh
Ocean Terminal is the largest shopping centre in the Leith area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is within the City of Edinburgh.
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 area has undergone urban renewal and regeneration, much led by and on the lands in the ownership of Forth Ports.
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 centre. Although originally planned to also function as a working passenger terminal, the permanent berthing of the Britannia has meant that the building has never been used for this function, despite its name.
The berth occupied by Britannia was originally planned to handle cruise liners. As Britannia is now permanently moored alongside the Ocean Terminal, Forth Ports plan to build another terminal for cruise liners.
There is an Antony Gormley sculpture located on an abandoned pier behind the building.
In September 2025 the centre was put on the market, for overs over £18 million. In February 2026 it was sold to the Fortress Investment Group for approximately £15 million.
PureGym, H&M, Boots and HMV are amongst the main shops; in total there are some shops, 6 restaurants, 3 coffee shops, a variety of bars and cafés, as well as a 12-screen Vue cinema, an urban dance studio, children's play area and a day spa.
British Home Stores was an anchor tenant until 2016, and Debenhams until 2021.
