The Admiral Duncan, a popular LGBT+ pub in Soho, London, will never forget the awful day a nail bomb attack claimed the lives of three people and injured dozens more.
Friday April 30, 1999 was supposed to be the start of a glorious bank holiday weekend. The sun was shining, workers had clocked off in their masses and, as is their wont, headed straight for the pub to meet with friends.
There was a certain weight in the air, as in the weeks prior, two nail bombs had targeted vulnerable communities around London. But in the Admiral Duncan, at the end of Old Compton Street, Soho, it was mostly business as usual – until somebody spotted an unattended holdall. Moments later, at about 6.30pm, it exploded.

“I’ve been getting book recommendations from TikTok.”
My childhood best friend said this to me during one of our check-ins, proving once and for all, that as much as you try to resist it, TikTok will eventually consume us all. Come and claim me Gen-Z, I will give the middle part a shot.
My new reading recs friend and I don’t keep in touch as much as both of us would like nowadays. A global pandemic, and her being an emergency room nurse while I am just a lazy texter complicate the matter. One thing we never fail to do when we check in, though, is to ask what new books or authors the other is reading.
