Admiralty, Grade II listed pub in Trafalgar Square, London, England.
The Admiralty is a Grade II listed pub housed in a three-story Italianate building at 66 Trafalgar Square, featuring maritime decorations and traditional British pub design throughout. The interior blends the historic architecture with nautical-themed touches and period furnishings.
The building was originally constructed in 1871 as a Union Bank by architect F. W. Porter and later served as a National Westminster Bank branch. It received Grade II listing protection in 1987 before being converted to its current use as a pub.
The pub honors British naval traditions through its interior design inspired by HMS Victory, with rooms named after ship sections and naval ranks. Visitors can spot these maritime elements throughout the space.
The pub offers easy access from Trafalgar Square and attracts a mixed clientele of locals and tourists throughout the day. The multi-level interior requires navigating between floors, so consider which level suits your preference.
When opened under Fullers management in 2014, a magnum of London Pride beer was smashed against the building's exterior instead of champagne. This unconventional ceremony reflected the pub's maritime identity and connection to the local brewery.
