Admiralty (Chinese: 金鐘; Cantonese Yale: Gāmjūng) is an MTR station located on Hong Kong Island, in an area often referred to as Admiralty. The station's livery is blue, white and yellow. The station connects the Tsuen Wan Line with the Island Line in cross-platform interchange type. Before the opening of the Tsuen Wan branch line in 1982, it was part of the Kwun Tong Line.
The station is named after HMS Tamar (a place of land now known as the Tamar site), once the headquarters of the Royal Navy in Hong Kong – this, even though HMS Tamar had never actually been called the Admiralty. It was built on the former site of the Hong Kong naval dockyards, which was built in 1878 and demolished in the 1970s.
In 2011 to 2016, the station underwent major expansion to accommodate two new sets of platforms for a new station underneath it. The new Admiralty station serves two more MTR lines, the South Island Line and the North South Corridor (part of the Sha Tin to Central Link).
The Government had given the MTR Corporation first refusal on the 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) site, which was subsequently sold to it in 1976 for around HK$200 million for cash and equity consideration.
