The Admiral Duncan pub

The Admiral Duncan is a pub in Old Compton Street in the heart of London's gay district. It is named after Admiral Adam Duncan, who defeated the Dutch fleet at Camperdown in 1797.

On April 30, 1999, it was the scene of a bomb blast when David Copeland, as part of a series of bombings against gay people and ethnic minorities, detonated a nailbomb which killed 3 people (including a pregnant woman) and wounded around 70.

It was once in the ownership of the Scottish & Newcastle Brewery but changed hands in 2004.
