Old Billingsgate Market
Old Billingsgate Market, Convention center in City of London, United Kingdom.
Old Billingsgate Market is an event venue with three separate halls and a terrace overlooking the River Thames and Tower Bridge. The building features rooms of different sizes and layouts suited for various types of gatherings.
The building was designed by architect Horace Jones in 1875 and served as London's fish market until it moved in 1982. After closing as a market, it was converted into an event venue and now hosts various gatherings.
The Grand Hall keeps its original ornate architecture with soaring triple-height ceilings and Victorian details that catch your eye when you walk in. The spaces still show the traces of their past as a fish market in their appearance today.
The venue sits right on the Thames riverfront and is easily reached by public transport. The different halls allow for various sizes and layouts, so checking the room options ahead of time helps with planning.
The basement, called The Vault, holds original brickwork and was used for storing fish and ice for decades. These spaces offer a glimpse into the building's former function that few visitors expect to find.
