The Admiralty is a pub at 66 Trafalgar Square, London. It is the only pub situated on the square.[1] The Italianate building was built in 1871 by the architect F. W. Porter for the Union Bank. It was listed at Grade II in 1987, by which time it was a branch of the National Westminster Bank.[2]
In 2005, the building became Albannach (from the
Balvenie malt whisky.[4]
In 2014, the building was acquired by
First Sea Lord from 2002 to 2006, and by the brewery's chief executive Simon Emeny. During the opening a magnum of London Pride beer was ceremonially smashed on the pub's exterior.[1] The pub's interior decor is inspired by HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar.[6]
On 13 July 2022 a serious fire broke out in the basement of the Admiralty; over 100 firefighters and 20 fire engines were dispatched to tackle the fire.[7]
