The Admiralty

This is where the memory begins to get a little hazy. The Admiralty sits right on Trafalgar Square in a Grade II listed building from 1871, originally built as the Union Bank to designs by F.W. Porter. It was a NatWest branch, then a Scottish restaurant, before Fuller's converted it in 2014 — opening two days after Trafalgar Day, with Admiral Lord West performing the honours. The downstairs Gundeck bar has semi-private booths modelled on HMS Victory's lower deck. Nelson's Column looms through the windows. After a basement fire in 2022, it reopened in April 2023.
