Trafalgar Square fire sees scores evacuated after blaze takes hold in pub

Around 150 people have been evacuated after a fire at a pub in London sent thick smoke into Trafalgar Square. London's fire service told the Mirror that 125 firefighters and 20 fire engines were deployed to tackle the blaze with half of the pub's sub-basement on fire.

In footage shared online, the Admiralty pub can be seen filled with thick black smoke that billows into the air and rises across nearby buildings. The three-storey pub is found in the Spring Gardens, a street that crosses the east end of the Mall by Trafalgar Square.

The cause of the fire is not yet known, and around 150 people were evacuated from the pub and surrounding businesses before fire crews arrived. There are no reports of any injuries.
