What Old Billingsgate does

93 Feet East (the operating business represented under the "Old Billingsgate" data set, with web assets hosted at oldbillingsgate.co.uk) is a privately operated bar, club, and live music venue at 150 Brick Lane, London E1 6QL, situated within the Old Truman Brewery complex in the heart of East London's Shoreditch creative district. The venue was established in 1999 and relaunched in 2018 following a refurbishment that installed a professional d&b sound system throughout. It comprises four distinct event spaces — The Bar (flexible indoor event space with DJ booth and full AV), The Hall (performance-focused music room with customizable staging), The Courtyard (outdoor space directly accessible from Brick Lane, suited to food markets and daytime events), and ONE50 (a separately branded sub-venue with its own programming). Operational technology is limited to professional AV equipment: d&b sound systems, high-tech lighting rigs, projection capabilities, and customizable staging — there is no software platform or proprietary technology stack beyond standard venue operations.

The business operates an event-driven, three-stream revenue model: (1) venue hire for private events, brand activations, corporate functions, fashion shows, launches, conferences, and exhibitions; (2) ticketed consumer events including club nights, live music, and themed parties (e.g., UKG Reunion, Garage City Reunion, Balearic Beat); and (3) bar and food sales (BBQ offerings, drinks packages). Customer segments split between music promoters and electronic music artists, brands and corporations (documented clients include Dazed & Confused, PlayStation, and Twitter), and private event organizers. Go-to-market is direct inquiry-led for B2B venue hire (contact form, email at [email protected]) and third-party ticketing platforms (Skiddle, Seasoned) for consumer events. Marketing relies on organic social (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and an email newsletter. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, and there is no disclosed funding, ownership structure, or revenue figure.
