Old Billingsgate London Events

Old Billingsgate London is a grand Victorian-style events venue in the heart of the city, offering three industrial-style function spaces and beautiful views of the River Thames for a truly memorable event.

Once a world-famous fish market, the Victorian Grade II listed building has since been transformed into a magnificent venue for corporate functions, weddings, and social events. The old market floor is now an exquisite Grand Hall which holds varying events from wedding receptions to awards dinners, and the lower-level cold storage space has transitioned into a premier underground haven. 

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to celebrate as newlyweds, host a conference, or enjoy a summer soiree, Old Billingsgate London provides a sensational backdrop to bring your celebration to life.
