Billingsgate

Billingsgate ward occupies a compact area along the north bank of the Thames, directly east of London Bridge. The historic Billingsgate Market, once a bustling fish market, now operates from a modern facility in Docklands, but its legacy remains in local street names. The ward is dominated by contemporary commercial office developments, housing major financial and professional firms. Its riverside location provides direct access to the Thames Path.

The ward contains several notable historic structures amidst its modern towers. The church of St Mary-at-Hill, with its Wren-designed interior, is a key landmark. A unique feature is the preserved fragment of the Roman river wall, visible within a modern office building on Lower Thames Street, connecting the area to its ancient past as a trading port. The ward's character is primarily defined by its weekday business activity.
