VENUE


Old Billingsgate

This Victorian Grade II listed building was once a world famous fish market, running up until 1982. The Grand Hall was the market floor and the basement, now The Vault, was covered in 50 years of ice used to store the fishermen's catch. Given an industrial twist by architect Lord Richard Rogers, the building has undergone an amazing transformation to become London's premier event space.

Address: 1 Old Billingsgate, 16 Lower Thames St, London EC3R 6DX
