Old Billingsgate is a Grade II listed Victorian landmark on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of London, set between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Designed by City architect Sir Horace Jones and completed in 1875, the former Billingsgate Fish Market traded until 1982 and is now one of London’s best-known event venues, with an ornate riverside façade set against the towers of the City skyline.
The building faces one of London’s most photographed stretches of the river, with views to Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, The Shard and London Bridge. The audience ranges from City workers and commuters to tourists and visitors walking the Thames Path and crossing London Bridge.

Nearby landmarks include the Tower of London, the Monument, Leadenhall Market, Borough Market and Hay’s Galleria.... Read more
