Not that I know of, although there are at least three Lord
Nelsons in London at present (only one of which, I might add,
is a publican).
Anyways, I've been trying to think of catchy slogans for
the pub. The best I've come up with so far is "Come to
the Lord Nelson and take a shot in the Trafalgar." Not
exactly welcoming, although the more subtle "Come down
to the Lord Trafalgar and get pickled" might be in similarly
bad taste, albeit not as bad as the taste of that rum by
the time HMS Victory reached Portsmouth. I've got to
wonder if any gunner's mate or similar wag inadvertantly
stole down to tap a bit of happiness, only to find out
he was havin' a private drink with the Lord Admiral...

I wish I could partake! Alas, my ABS is stored away, and my
time is stored away too (doesn't keep me from reading, natch).
You never know, though--Caledonia and Batavia are both good
possibilities. (You know those Dutchmen and their Java...)
