The Whisky Show London

As you sail down the river from London Bridge, past St. Magnus House and Northern & Shell Building, you’ll come across a relatively quiet stretch of water overlooked by an old-fangled Victorian building named the Old Billingsgate. Built in 1875, the structure originally served as the main fish depot for the metropolis where fishing boats and ‘smacks’ from the North Sea would sail up the Thames with their fresh catch.
