The market's right to exist dates back to a charter granted by Edward III in 1327 - the same dude who clashed with William Wallace up in Scotland. That's some history for ya. It's the largest fish market in the UK and one of the largest in Europe.

Billingsgate Market
I'm going to Billingsgate Market tomorrow to take some pictures. It opens at 5am and closes at 8.30am. So I'll be up early to be there by 5. If I can get 2 good shots it'll be worth it. As the market is owned by the city you can't just show up you need a commercial or non-commercial "press" badge which I applied for a few weeks ago.
