Chaos in Trafalgar Square as 125 firefighters tackle pub blaze
More than 100 firefighters are tackling a “challenging” blaze at a pub in Trafalgar Square in central London.
The fire broke out at The Admiralty pub shortly before 5.50pm on Tuesday, and huge plumes of smoke could be seen billowing from the building.
Some 10 fire engines and 70 firefighters were originally called to the scene, but this was later increased to 20 fire engines and around 125 firefighters amid “arduous” conditions.
The London fire brigade said half of the pub’s basement was alight.
