Grab a burger to tide you over. Oak'A Burger is open late and sits just 12 minutes from the landmark.
17:36
Walk to the Gas storage buildings. The two enormous red-brick structures (1882 and 1901) are striking against the evening sky. Look for the pressure meter that mimics a clock on the facade.
18:21
Stay for sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the historic factory site.
19:06
Head to Skyline Bar. It is just a short walk from the viewing area and offers a perfect view at sunset. Try to find a table near the windows early, as it gets busy.
Local tip
Skyline Bar charges a cover fee at popular times and has a strict window policy for the best views. Go early if you want a seat.
