Admiral Duncan pub bombing

Well known as a gay pub, the Admiral Duncan was the site chosen by Neo-Nazi David Copeland to detonate a nail bomb which killed three people and wounded 70.

Copeland, who was also responsible for the nail bomb attacks in Brixton (17 April) and Brick Lane (24 April), was sentenced to six concurrent life sentences in June 2000.
