The Admiralty hosts board meetings, private dinners, corporate events, birthday parties and wedding celebrations in three function spaces, from 16 guests at a table to 120 standing. It is a Fuller's ale and pie pub at 66 Trafalgar Square, London, on the southern edge of the square, facing Nelson's Column.
Seminars and company events
For a business meeting, the team books the Admiral's Cabin and sets it out to suit the group. The room has free Wi-Fi, a 50-inch HDMI-compatible screen, audio, a whiteboard and daylight, and flip charts come on request. It takes 16 people around a conference table. Breakout tables or areas can be arranged for pauses during a longer session. For larger groups, the pub has hosted corporate events since it opened in 2014, across three floors. Company dinners, receptions and galas can use the Lower Deck, where exclusive use of the downstairs bar is possible for large events. Food and drinks packages are built around each booking.
Weddings and receptions
The Lower Deck and the Quarter Deck are both offered for weddings and celebrations. The Quarter Deck suits a smaller reception or a dinner, with views over the pub and out to Trafalgar Square. The Lower Deck works for a larger party, with a private bar and room for 100 at a banquet.
Rooms and capacities
The pub is laid out as three decks inspired by HMS Victory. The Lower Deck, in the basement, takes its look from the gun decks of HMS Warrior and HMS Victory. It seats 80, holds 120 standing or 100 at a banquet, has its own bar and audio, and offers private booths that can be reserved for dinner and drinks. The Admiral's Cabin is the fully enclosed private dining room, the most private space in the pub. It seats up to 16, holds 25 standing and has full AV. The Quarter Deck is modeled on a ship's officers' deck, with a sweeping staircase down to the floor below. It seats 40, holds 70 standing, has its own bar and gets natural light.
Catering
The pub is known for handmade pies with all the trimmings, alongside seasonal dishes and classic British pub food. For events, the chefs prepare anything from finger food to a full sit-down dinner. The bar serves cask ales, both classic and seasonal, modern craft beers and lagers, wine and champagne. The kitchen serves food every day, from late morning into the evening.
History and setting
The Admiralty takes its name from Admiralty Arch, which it backs onto, along with St James's Park. The naval theme runs through the interiors, from the gun deck styling of the basement to the officers' deck upstairs. The pub has air conditioning, an accessible toilet, baby changing facilities, board games and big screens for live sport. It opens daily from 11 am.
Getting there
Charing Cross is the nearest tube station, and Charing Cross main-line station is less than five minutes away on foot. Leicester Square, Embankment and Piccadilly Circus stations are also within walking distance. The pub is not easy to reach by car, so public transport is the better choice for guests. The Houses of Parliament, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace are a short walk or ride away.
