Billingsgate
Lower Thames Street, London EC3

BillingsgateBillingsgate, set on one of the city's earliest quays, was the site of London's main fish market for 900 years.  

At its peak in the 19th-20th centuries, 400 tonnes of fish were sold here every day, much delivered by boat.  Billingsgate was renowned at London's noisiest market and even in Shakespeare's day it was notorious for its bad language. 

However, Billingsgate no longer sells fish - the market moved to a new, larger site on the Isle of Dogs in 1982.  

The beautiful Grade II-listed building, designed by Horace Jones in 1877, was refurbished in 1986 for office space, to plans by architect Sir Richard Rogers.  The splendid golden fish crowning the building is a weather vane.
