Admiral Duncan

The Admiral Duncan is a gay pub in Old Compton Street, Soho.

On 30 April 1999 a nail bomb went off in the pub, killing three people and injuring about 70. The bomb had been planted by David Copeland, a right-wing extremist who had previously attacked pubs used by the black and Asian communities. Was convicted of murder and given six concurrent life sentences.

The aftermath of the bombing became a turning-point for relations between the LGBT community and the Metropolitan Police.
