Old Billingsgate


Waiting for the Clipper to go back to Greenwich, I had a good view of the Old Billingsgate Fish Market building from the river. It's believed to be where the Celtic King and God Belinus built a tower, which would have greeted visitors to London as they crossed London Bridge to the city. When he died, they put a golden urn on top of the tower and buried his ashes there. So the story goes.
