In the heart of the City on the North bank of the River Thames, stands a striking historic building that is a remarkable part of London’s heritage. Old Billingsgate is the perfect place to say I do, with three versatile spaces and a beautiful terrace which has unrivalled views of Tower Bridge, City Hall, The Shard and London Bridge.
Providing a stunning historical backdrop, Old Billingsgate is a space of true quality, enabling you to create your own piece of history for both you and those you wish to share it with. Our Victorian Grade II listed building was once a world famous fish market, running up until 1982. Given an industrial twist by architect Lord Richard Rogers, the building has undergone an amazing transformation, from the 19th century’s largest fish market to London’s premier event space.
