Billingsgate Market "For a Fresh Catch"

Billingsgate Market is the United Kingdom's busiest and one of the largest inland fish market. Earlier known as Blynesgate, it was originally a general market selling coal, salt, corn, wine, pottery and other miscellaneous items. In this chaotic fish market one can find a variety of fresh catch brought from Aberdeen and Cornwall. Apart from the wide variety of fresh by vapour trail fish available, the market also has poultry vendors, sundry traders and some restaurants. Escorted tours to the market place could be arranged with prior notice. Here's a little trivia; the word 'Billingsgate' became synonymous with crude and vulgar language because of the coarse language used by the fisher folk there.
