Admiralty

Spectacular and busy Fuller's Ale & Pie format conversion of a former whisky bar, themed on HMS Victory and opened by the First Sea Lord on Trafalgar Day 2014. This is London's most central pub, being just 50 metres from the King Charles I statue from which all distances from the capital are measured, and it has a great view over Trafalgar Square. The pub is furnished with traditional tables, chairs and plush banquette-type seating on the ground and upper floors, the mezzanine area being used mainly for dining. The large Gundeck bar downstairs has semi-private booths, based on the lower gundeck of the Victory, as well as some more informal seating. The pub can become very busy at peak eating times and non-diners are requested not to occupy the tables intended for those eating. Eight handpumps on the ground-floor bar generally offer a choice of six real ales, mostly from Fuller's, Dark Star and Gales, alongside a range of craft beer taps; the real ale choice downstairs will be more limited.
