As generously facilitated by my friend Adam Beardon - a visit to the Lloyds Building in the City of London to see the Nelson Collection (29).
Also saw the Lutine bell which was significantly smaller than I thought it would be.
Lloyds has a long association with the great man. They often rewarded his victories with bespoke silverware and the like.

For the detail of what can be seen - you need an Adam to get you in.
We had a very good curry afterwards.
