I was in London for a couple of days and during the tour on my second day, our guide recommended this place for lunch. It was in a super convenient location right at Trafalgar Square. The vibe was nice and lively and the service was pretty quick. I got a beef pie which was delicious. The crust was flaky and butter. I'd definitely return! read more

What a distinguished and cute pub! Visiting the area and my friend couldn't wait to take me here to visit due to it being one of his favorite places to go. I absolutely loved the decor of the pub and appreciated the service. I had never had many of the beers on tap and the servers were so kind and letting me taste a few before I made my decision. I didn't get to taste the food but that will be next on my list the next time I visit. read more

We stopped in here for a quick bite on a cold day of touring London. Located directly on Trafalgar Square, this location caters primarily to the tourist crowd. We had a nice booth over looking the square and Nelson's column. Service was good and the food was OK. We didn't do anything too amazing. Just a BLT and a cheese and onion toastie. Both sandwiches could have stayed on the press a few moments longer to crisp up more, but the warm food and good service was appreciated. read more

My fave bar pub in London! Super friendly staff, fun atmosphere on the main level. They have an upper area and then a "dungeon "on the lower deck, which is much quieter and super cool! Totally love the vibe of this place! If you wanna make some friends come here! Price is a reasonable. We had a few beers and some ice cream... I know that's a pretty crazy combination but when you have the need and they have it, you get it! read more

A rare 5-star review: This place is excellent. It's the second time I've been here--this time with my wife. We called ahead for a seat, and sure enough, they had it ready for us at a hectic time. We perused the menu and then walked up to the bar to place our order. We both had a few cocktails (get the old-fashioned) and shared a scotch egg, fish, and chips. The ambiance is excellent - inside and out. The location is fantastic - right near Trafalgar Square. There are plenty of ways to get to The Admiralty as Underground stations are nearby. Good service, good food, great atmosphere. Stop in while in London. read more

Right on Traflagar square! English pub ambience, festive and cheerful vibe! Yorkshire pudding was good, fish & chips were plentiful and the chicken leek pie was exceptional! The peach lager was light and amazing! The service was average but you get what you pay for! Great experience! A must stop in London!! read more

Love this place. Pub-feel with both indoor and outdoor patio seating. On first glance you might confuse this for a tourist trap, but it is reasonably priced food and we had a delicious meat pie here. For those who watch great British bake off, there was no soggy bottom here! We weren't super hungry so split a London pride steak meat pie and left pleasantly content. Service was good. Ambiance was perfect for a casual meet up and for families. I will be coming back to try the meat pie sampler soon!! read more

This is a lovely place to grab a beer and enjoy a meal! We were in the Trafalgar square area and looking for a place to eat. Hubby remember seeing this place on a review and went in without a resv which was fine because they had a lot of seating downstairs- a bit dark but got a table right by the bar. The staff was very nice, helpful & friendly. The food is very very good. We ordered the pie sharing board and the fish and chips! The host let us know that was a lot of food but we had to try since we were leaving UK the next day, and so glad we did. You can't go wrong with the pie sharing board and the fish and chips satisfied our cravings. Will be back when we are back in London! read more

Wonderful! This is no ordinary pub grub people! England has a thriving farm to table movement going on. They have rejected chemicals and processed foods (besides crisps (chips) lol) and have gone back to their native soil to cultivate beautiful fresh nutrient rich produce. The atmosphere was pure proud Britain with the bonus of it being right in the famous Trafalgar Square! The service was very polite! The food was great, fresh and flavorful! read more

What a great time at The Admiralty! It was a hot day on June 18, 2025, in London, and I was in need of a cold drink, mainly beer!!! Walking from St. James Park, my friend and I saw the pub. Our server was amazing and wanted me to experience the true British menu, including the beer. I was given a sample of the room temperature beer, but I was not a fan. She suggested Frontier Lager, which was chilled, and I loved it. I was going to get fish & chips, but switched to the Trafalgar Pie because my server said I would love it. I'm so glad I did. It consisted of beef, port & mushrooms, topped with a puff pastry lid, served with mashed potatoes, aka buttered mash. It was divine! Think of it as the best beef pot pie you've ever had! The decor is beautiful as well! Despite the 90ºF weather, it was fairly cool inside even without AC. I saw a YouTube travel video saying to avoid any restaurants in Trafalgar Square, but this was a perfect pub experience. read more

Stopped by for a business dinner, very convenient location. Seated in the cool upstairs area with the nautical themed decor. Service was great and the food pretty good, along with the beer--recommend! read more

I saw this place the first night I got in and knew it was gonna be a cool place. Though I didn't get to try it on the spot, I made a visit later on in the week and finally got to dine there. The whole place is a tribute to Lord Nelson and his HMS Victory. Very beautifully decorated with period pieces all over the place and plenty of illustrations, the Admiralty did not disappoint. We sat topside where a nice waiter, who reminded me of Mick Jagger worked at. Since we hadn't had a burger yet, my girlfriend and I both partook in that and tried these small fried crispy short rib beef & cheddar nuggets with picked topped. They were okay, but it was a new thing to try. The burgers were the main course and we were happy with the results. It came with steak fries and the bun was perfect. They had Fullers on tap and had two pints while there. By the end of lunch, I was a happy man. Couldnt have asked for a better experience. read more

Cute spot right across the street from Trafalgar Square. Visited on a Sunday evening for the roast. Unfortunately, we came right after all the roast plates were sold out (6:30 pm). Our server mentioned to come before 5:00 pm if you want the roast. Instead, my family got various pies and they were all delicious! My chicken, bacon, & leek pie was piping hot at delivery (I burnt my mouth). The flavor was fabulous! Mashed potatoes were a bit bland, so I added salt and gravy. TIP: If coming on Sunday, make a reservation and come before 5:00 pm to get the roast! read more

The Admiralty is my first impression with my first trip to London. Even before arriving, I received the best service. I emailed Elise and asked to be seated at a viewing table so we could watch a football game. She replied immediately and accommodated my request. The day of the reservation, I had to ask for a later time, and she again replied promptly and accommodated my request. We had the best experience during our visit. We ordered the Sunday roast and it was delicious. The beef was cooked to perfection and the sides were amazing. We were seated in front of the TV that was airing the game we requested. The service was impeccable. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We met other diners and chatted about sports. We stayed through 2 games and were fortunate to enjoy the live jazz music. It was the perfect day. We will definitely return! Cheers! read more

Came here with a reservation for Sunday roast around 6:30PM. We arrived with empty stomachs ready to eat, however, unfortunately almost EVERY single item on the Sunday menu was sold out? It was a bummer and very odd as we were visiting in town excited to try a London roast meal... However, I then ordered a vegetarian squash pie with chips/fries and roasted veggies on the side. It was fine, I just think that classic British food is a bit plain. We also ordered a side of the pigs in blankets, which was good as well. Just different than what I thought they would be. Overall not a bad experience but wouldn't be back. read more

Great pub experience. The food was on point and the environment was warm and inviting.

Came here last week for dinner with my daughter. Was looking for traditional British pub food and was not disappointed. I had the fish and chips and my daughter (she's 6) had the hamburger. Both were finished in no time. Delicious. What I particularly love about this pub though is the atmosphere. It is newly done and it is beautiful. I loved the nautical theme, the colors and decorations. It's so pretty. And being right in Trafalgar Square, you can't beat the location. We went on a Monday evening before a show and made a reservation online. I don't know if it was necessary but it was nice to know we had a spot waiting for us when we go there. (I only made the reservation a few hours before we wanted to eat too) If you're looking for a lovely pub for dinner, I recommended. read more

It's about 5:30pm in the middle of rush hour and we're visiting Trafagar Square and found this cute little pub called The Admiralty Instead of dealing with traffic we decided to get some beers and appetizers to kill some time. Place has three levels indoors and outdoor tables facing the square. They have a great variety of local beers and some imported too. We chose to sit outside and Nathan at the bar took care of our order. After trying a few samples I ordered the local brew and later sn Amstel light and accompanied it with fish and chips and also pork scratching with apple sauce. Draft beer was ice cold and food was delicious and exactly what we expected to have in an English pub to set the amp Ian e. Staff was super friendly and Nathan was awesome. Loved the decor that goes with theme of square honoring admiral Nelson and the victory at the battle Trafalgar where British were triumphant over the French. Loved this awesome pub and place to visit for drinks and food and highly recommended while in London. read more

Not sure where to start. The FOOD! We ate here twice. The first was Sunday for a Sunday Roast -I chose the chicken. It was so delicious and it was paired with several veggies and everything was amazing. The second was a couple of days later and we chose the beef pie for two. It also came with several veggies that my non veggie eating husband ate. The food was the best 2 meals we ate in 10 days in London. The service was pleasant and timed just right. Our server, Aswathy, was so accommodating and friendly. read more

Recommend you go somewhere else if you wish for decent food or service. This place is beautiful inside, and might have been fine had we only gone in for drinks We made the mistake, however, of ordering food. That was, after all the purpose of our having made a reservation for a Father's day Sunday roast. Ah yes, the famous British Sunday roast. Our party if five ordered two "Duo" roasts, meaning they would come with both chicken and steak, served with Yorkshire Pudding and potatoes. We ordered two "Bruschetta". We ordered one fish and chips from the kid's menu. The kid's meal was the only presentable food. The steak was gristly, fatty, and uncooked. It was maybe 3mm thick, by 4cm wide, 15cm long. In other words, worthless. The chicken was a single thigh. Potatoes undercooked, and the pudding was flat, soggy in places, hard in others, tasteless. Our server supposedly "checked with the kitchen" and reported back that the pudding should be different than what they had served. Upon our infoeming her that it was bad she said "sorry" and left. The "bruschetta" was a single piece of bread with insanely large tomato wedges and olives one of which contained a pit. Comically, they brought us four sets of cutlery and four glasses of water. As mentioned above, there were five of us. When we asked for another water, they brought three. This was an awful dining experience overall. read more

Bad service. Even worse food. The absolutely worst Sunday roast with tough Yorkshire pudding, and soggy veggies. The waitress told us that's how it should be and left. And beware, bruschetta had an olive pit in. ‍ Save your money So disappointing for Father's Day lunch with our guests. read more

Last time we visited this pub we were soaking wet from a torrential downpour. This time the weather was much more friendly to us. I love this pub, the staff are great but the main reason is that it hasn't changed into a restaurant. You can walk in, sit down and have a few pints. Should you feel peckish then food is available and brought to your table with the cutlery etc etc. No set tables which makes, to me, a very uncomfortable scenario if you just want a pint. Hope it doesn't change. read more

Great experience with very well prepared food. Not a tourist trap! The pie for two was homey and delicious.

My wife and I stopped at the Admiralty simply by chance. We split a chicken Cesar salad which was awesome and our server Alay was great. Never once had an empty glass of beer as he was very attentive to us, but in a good way! Highly recommend the Admiralty! read more

Stopped by for lunch at end of a walking tour of London. Yes, we were a tourist family that chose this restaurant based on location and rushed glance at internet reviews. The pies (we tried several) were all excellent. Fish and chips - dubbed by my son (who has quite sophisticated taste in food) to be the best of the various iterations we have tried on our London trip thus far. Check out the winding path to the bathrooms. We felt like we were on a ship! read more

Stayed at a hotel next door and decided to check out this pub for an easy meal. What a great find! The low down on the food- Enjoyed the steak pie and chips, the calamari and the sticky toffee pudding. Would pass on the Vietnamese wings. Great atmosphere, really cute, nice pub, not what you think of as a "pub" in the America's. Service was really friendly as well and prices are great! We will be back next time we're in London. read more
