Billingsgate

Billingsgate ward is located in the eastern part of the City of London, near the northern bank of the River Thames. It is named after the historic Billingsgate Fish Market, which operated in the area for centuries before relocating in 1982. The ward includes parts of Lower Thames Street and Monument Street, with landmarks such as the Custom House and the Church of St Mary-at-Hill.

The area has a mix of commercial and historic buildings, reflecting its long-standing role as a trading hub. Modern office spaces sit alongside remnants of its maritime past, including old wharves and warehouses. Billingsgate ward is also close to transport links, including Tower Hill Underground station, making it accessible for workers and visitors. The ward's boundaries are shaped by its proximity to the river and neighboring wards like Bridge and Tower.
