Old Billingsgate
On the north bank of the River Thames, in the heart of the City, stands Old Billingsgate—a striking Victorian landmark and a treasured piece of London’s heritage. Once the world’s largest fish market, this Grade II listed building has been transformed into one of the capital’s most sought-after event venues.
Old Billingsgate offers three versatile event spaces and a stunning terrace with panoramic views of Tower Bridge, City Hall, The Shard, and London Bridge. The Grand Hall, once the bustling market floor, now hosts everything from exhibitions to awards dinners. Beneath it lies The Vault, a dramatic underground space that once held 50 years’ worth of ice to preserve the day’s catch.
The three unique spaces; The Grand Hall, The Vault and The Gallery, are available to hire separately or in conjunction with each other so there is plenty of room for your event to grow. As a blank canvas space the opportunities are endless!
