I try to write reviews I would have appreciated before going places so…Been meaning to go to Billingsgate for some time but never got round to it. Went today and honestly quite a lot cheaper than local fish mongers. 3kg of king prawns (quite big) was £20, whereas 1kg is £12.99 in my local fishmongers so already a saving over almost half price. Soft shell crab, I normally spend £36 on one box - got 2 boxes for £40. Scallops - a bag will set you back £40 - I paid £19.50. So definitely worth it. Would have bought more if I had the freezer space. We got there at 5.30am and stands were packing up but still plenty to choose from. Parking is £3 on ringo app and all stands now take card so cash not necessarily needed .

Good to buy a fresh fish and learn things about seafood. Go early (about 5am) to enjoy nice pices there.

I went on Thursday the 2nd of December with my boyfriend and sisters. Arrived at 5pm and we went straight in, no queues. Not many people were there, but those who were there were buyers and not selfie-obsessed tourists. Thankfully, that crowd is being kept at bay by the covid related travel restrictions.
Just after the first lockdown ended (June 2020) there were very, very long queues on Saturdays, so since I have always visited on a Thursday and there has never been a queue.
So if you want to go, try a Thursday at 5am and you'll have a pleasant shopping trip.
Prices are half of what you'd pay at a fishmongers, but to be fair, fishmongers do fillet and sell prepared pieces. Halibut was £15.00 a kilo (at a fishmongers you'd pay £33.00 a kilo) and Swordfish loin was £13.00 a kilo (at a fishmongers you pay £28.00 a kilo). Giant prawns (13-12cm long) was £27.00 for 3 kilos. I have attached pictures of my purchases.
Apart from prices, there is a vast variety of fish which you will not see in any other shop or market.
There are some sellers who sell "old" fish, and you can tell from handling the fish (which is allowed) and also they're cheap as well, which is a tell-tale sign. The market do apparently have inspectors but somehow, some people do get conned.
Other points to note:
Don't wear sandals or open toed footwear - they won't let you in.
Wear slip-resistant foot wear.
Don't bring your kids, as kids are not allowed.
If you drive, take containers to place your bags in, as ice-water can leak from bags.
We knew what we wanted to buy and we were out of the building in 30 minutes.
Plan well, go on a Thursday and you'll be ok, and best to buy from the traditional sellers like Selsea and James Nash.

Great place for fresh seafood!
Get there early as they close at 09:30.
As well as seafood, there is a cafe there which I plan to try as well.

On 27/03/21, around 5 to 5:30am, the queue was very long (almost 500 people). At 6:30 to 7am, We stayed in the queue for around 1 and half hour until my husband couldn't wait for toilet. It was only around 10 people before us for entering to the market. He couldn't wait any more so he approached to the security man who controlled the queue in the front and explained his situation. The man asked him to go back to the queue rudely and didn't allow him for the toilet. This officer said he didn't believe it because some people would use toilet for excuse to avoid the queue. My husband came back to the original queue and waited for another minute. He told me he started to feel sick so he went to the man again and this time he was still not allowed for toilet, so he continued to walk towards the direction of toilet because he couldn't wait any more. The security man shouted to him loudly and I went to him and explained again we were only minutes away from the entrance (he could see it as we were only meters away from him) and my husband would come back to join me after if we were still not called for entering. He still insisted going to toilet was not allowed and shouted to me that both of us wouldn't be allowed for entering to the market on that day. Many people heard it and it was really embarrassing. He knew we had been in the queue for a long time and there was no other purpose to request for toilet near the end of the queue. Actually they shouldn't make assumption that the people asked for toilet were for the purpose of avoiding the queue. We finally reported the incident to the head of the security and formally made a complaint by writing later. We requested for a sorry. Although the manager had promised to undertake further training to improve the service which we appreciated, he also replied the officer concerned had told him differently and we didn't receive any sorry from this officer. We did nothing wrong. We personally felt to be bullied and assaulted. There is no toilet outside of the building and the queue could be 2 hours or more in early morning. We are Billingsgate regular customers for over 20 years , but we haven't been there any more since the incident happened. We have been happy with the quality of the seafood and all traders have been very polite and professional. I am still feeling very hurt from that officer. So this comment is left not for the traders and products. The traders are 5 stars. If you visit this place, try to avoid weekends during Pandemic time and don't drink too much water because there is no toilet available outside of the market.

Amazing market for fish lovers, there were so many varieties of fish, and for so cheap, and i went at 6:30 on a Saturday, and there was only a 15min queue, and i recommend that if you see a long queue, don't be put off, they go very quickly.

Today first time we were there. And we are so pleased what we found. Very recommended for Fish lovers. I shared this experience today with a group of 50 000 people. It is very funny, some of them were in the market today too😄

Does anyone at billings gate do ‘Mail order’. So many online fish suppliers but no way of knowing where fish is from or how fresh so from Billingsgate I’d hope the source is uk and fresh.

Hi, has anyone visited during the week since Covid took over the world? I went on a Saturday and the queue was so long I turned around and went straight home. Is it as busy during the week?
كُتب بتاريخ 17 أكتوبر 2020
Hello, best to avoid Satudays. Best to go on a Weds or Thurs and you will still have to wait 50-60 mins but everyone gets in by 6am. By that time there are normally no queues at all.

They certainly do sell both of these, there are a few stalls in the center of the market that sell those.
