Scoop relocating to Old Billingsgate Market

Womenswear and accessories trade show Scoop is relocating to Old Billingsgate Market for its August edition, because its usual venue, the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea has been booked for an exhibition.

The move to Old Billingsgate Market, which is located on the River Thames, between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, will be for one season only, as the Saatchi Gallery is to host an exhibition of more than 500 Rolling Stones artefacts across nine themed galleries from April until September.

Commenting on the move, a spokesperson for Scoop said: "This already beautiful Old Billingsgate building will be dramatically transformed into the capital’s most exciting fashion destination, where a whole new take on Scoop’s trademark mix of fashion and art.”

Scoop’s spring/summer 2017 edition will take place from July 24-26 and will feature more than 200 brands at Old Billingsgate Market. Scoop’s next winter edition, January 22-24, 2017 will then return to the Saatchi Gallery.
