St Martins in the Fields Cafe in the Court in City of London, Westminster

Enjoyed a lovely recital last minute. Beautiful church.

We attended a concert by candlelight of Baroque music. It has been a lifelong ambition to visit St Martin's, I hope to be back rather sooner than the 55 years it has taken so far to achieve that ambition. The whole experience was superb.

Very busy good tasty food good prices for Central London In basement of ancient and historic church

Good selection of foods hot and cold Need more Jackft Potatoes... all gone at a lunch time... Very busy, but nice atmosphere... Such a handy location too Will go again

A quite unique cafe, reasonably priced for London, I had a slice of coffee and walnut cake and a latte, both which were nice.

The café in the crypt has delicious cakes and good coffee. A good stop to escape the hustle and bustle of London for a moment.

Interesting to visit the crypt converted into a bar-restaurant

Historic church overlooking Trafalgar Square. Lots of events on all through the year although some very expensive.

Sunday around 5 p.m.: 40 minutes of reflection and prayers of thanks in an open church. There were people singing beautiful gospel songs. Maybe a sample...couldn't have been nicer.

A cool idea but it's so well lit that it kinda kills any kind of interesting crypt vibe.

Dreamy Vivaldi 4 seasons by candlelight in a historic, beautiful building. If you haven't been, I highly recommend.

Silent Disco at the Crypt. Fabulous venue and a brilliant night of music and dancing.

Lovely place to go for a break, whether coffee, tea or a light lunch. It can be very noisy as the floor is made up of tombstones...yep. you read that right! It's a wonderfully atmospheric place to be, perfect for a first date or catching up with friends.

Nice place for visit. An elegant church with a crypt converted into a cafe. Concerts are held here, and during lunchtime there are music recitals.

There is a nice cafe in the lower basement floor. There are a variety of food and beverages. Prices are more affordable than other cafes in this area..

Gave us our food and told us to take it outside to eat because they were closing in 15 minutes

A nice place to have a cake and coffee.

Thoroughly recommend this cafe. It's an easy one to walk past in this busy part of London but it's well worth finding it. A stunning setting underground just off Trafaglar Square. We went in for tea and cake at the end of a day out. Good range of food, helpful staff and plenty of seating. Fully accessible for wheelchair users. If you are going to spend money in a cafe in London why not support one attached to a good cause. Happy to recommend this cafe and will be back.

It is a top-level vocal performance venue in the UK. Needless to say the sound effects. If you listen to a lot of canned music, you have to come in and listen to the real symphony.

Food expensive and pretty average

Beautiful. The crypt for food is fabulous.

Historical church with great orchestra associated with it. Next to Trafalgar Square and the Royal Portrait Gallery.

St Martin-in-the-Fields is a truly special place. The architecture is stunning, and the church's atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. They host wonderful classical concerts, and the café in the crypt is a hidden gem. A beautiful spot for reflection and culture in the heart of London.

Beautiful church. A must visit in London.

It was a big surprise ! The the conductor was Ivor Setterfield, our choir master and a great musician. The concert was the top class. All his concerts are magical.

Visited for a music performance in the evening. It's absolutely stunning inside and the installation main window is breathtaking and really adds to the overall experience. The Crypt bar area is also nice. Just to add, every member of staff interaction I had was really friendly.

I bought friends here for lunch. 5 of us easily got a table. I had a baguette that was served with salad. It was very nice and a good size. Unfortunately I also would have liked some water - but I wasn't going to spend £3 for a small can!

Reasonably priced...and really interesting location. Was not sure at first but loved it. The tea was good as well. Have to say though the black guy serving the tea on the morning of 11th September was brilliant. What a character. His banter made a sad day (last day of our holiday) so much better. We were still laughing on the train back to Scotland hours later

I went a few days ago for a meal, i had fish and chips, garden peas, also treated myself with a chocolate brownie , lovely, very nice place, easy access, stairs and lift.

St Martin in the Fields, Saint Martin in the fields, is an Anglican church dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours that is located in Trafalgar Square built in Greek Revival style and Georgian architecture, it was built in the years 1721 to 1726.

I had lunch in the Cript. My lunch was cold due to poor organisation at the food counter and only one person at the till.

Excellent espresso drinks many at the same price in an atmospheric crypt with a lift for the disabled

The most evocative cultural location in London

The Crypt under St.Martin in The Fields. Great venue for music. But some tables in there,there is restrictive views.

Cute little restaurant and coffee stop. Friendly staff. A good "watering hole" in Trafalgar Square.

Beautiful church. Attended a chamber music recital. The sound was superb

I couldn’t climb the stairs to my allotted seat so the staff found a place for me on the ground floor which was great!!! AND the music was beautiful

Went to a crypt music night yo see Mowrown Memors. Great band lovely venue,great value

Really enjoy going here to eat when in London. Enjoyed a lovely lunch, well cooked and very tasty. Good choice on offer that day. Nice place to sit and eat a relaxing meal. Toilets clean too.

A beautiful building with great acoustics. We went to see the sung Eucharist but even though it was advertised, there was no choir and only a spoke service. The building is beautiful especially the window behind the alter. Worth a visit.

Very enjoyable and engaging - the orchestra were wonderful and the setting felt intimate and special. The sound was amazing.

This is a lovely church and the crypt is a great place to go for cake and coffee (it also serves meals) with plenty of seating.

St Martins is a great music venue for non name acts. in the summer, the courtyard puts on free live music, and can be a great place to have a beer and watch a band / singer. They also put on shows indoors, either in the crypt or the main church, usually of a more cultural nature, but not free.

Amazing building with a good variety of concerts

Loved this church when i went for Songs of Praise recording recently.

This church does so many things right! Rev. Dr. Sam Wells is a highly regarded theologian with 44 books published. His Worship Services are really great. His sermons connect ancient scriptures with today's Pop Culture, giving fresh insights in a changing world. There are also Worship Services in other languages on Sunday Afternoons. The Crypt Cafe down stairs is a wonderfully used space to help with their mission with the homeless. The food is good and you can enjoy the architecture of the vaulted ceiling! Behind the church is a multi use event center with concerts that can appeal to all generations. We visited in 2012, 2024 and would not consider a visit to London without Worshipping at St. Martin-in-the- Fields, although it has been many generations since the church was 'in the Fields'; it is in Trafalgar Square.

The church is located in Trafalgar Square and, in addition to religious services, various concerts are held here. The crypt is accessible either directly from the church or from the outside next to the church through a glass entrance via stairs or elevator.

Fantastic place we enjoyed the concert

Il locale è situato nella cripta della chiesa di S. Martin in the fields Molto simile ad una mensa (servizio self) Buona scelta di piatti con classici della cucina inglese. Prezzi buoni per la zona. L’acqua è gratis.

Neat church in central London with classical music concerts about two nights a week all summer long.

Always a good place for a coffee or light lunch in the crypt.

Free live music on Thursdays and Sundays nice little cafe open

Great for javket potatoes or salads - and only over the road from the galleries - atmospheric and a great find! Confidently ate here gluten free with no after effects. Toilets also fine. Atmospheric as it’s on the crypt!!!

It was for a Songs of Praise recording

Nice cafe down in the basement. Overly priced but it is central after all..

Sometimes there are music performances, and I'm lucky enough to see them~

Too noisy. Could benefit from acoustic consideration

Went for coffee before a show. Busy but quick service and good atmosphere.

Wonderful parking that saved our lives, Positano is an almost impossible place to park and we were worried about not being able to enjoy the place but we found this place and stayed on the beach all afternoon and paid €20, it is very close to the beach, about 20 minutes walking 🥰

Watched a classical music concert (Vivaldi Four Season) by St Martin in the Field Ensemble recently, while the environment and acoustic were phenomenal, quality of performance was underwhelming. Worth visiting once, but perhaps won't visit again. Suggest to choose your concert carefully.

Amazing live music in the crypt, such a beautiful space.

Since the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields is considered one of the best chamber orchestras in the world, there is a lot of expectation for them to deliver an incredible performance. Thankfully, they live up to the “hype”. The performance of Mozart’s Requiem that I attended was a brilliant performance with a warm, candle-lit atmosphere. If you are at all interested in classical music and are in London you should absolutely check out their performance schedule.

Peaceful - away from the hustle and bustle of London.

Nice place. My ancestors were married there.

Absolutely excellent jacket potato with tuna. This cafe is a real find and servers much better fare than that in the overpriced gallery cafes opposite. Good ambience in unusual place and clean toilets.

Also visited the Cafe in the Crypt. Enjoyed lunch and coffee.

Fabulous service by the talented clergy. I heard perhaps the best sermon ever that was relatable on humanistic and religious levels. The congregation was extremely welcoming. I was amused by the tap to pay cashless offertory plate. The choir is amazing and the organ is impressive.

A world-famous modern and heritage attraction overlooking London’s Trafalgar Square. 🏛🗺🧭 St Martin's is renowned for its cultural events, church community, as well as connecting people facing homelessness with practical support. It's also where I began building my board trustee experience, serving for 3 years until 2020. Be sure to check out its concerts, lectures, and architecture ✨️

I enjoyed the best Fish and Chips with sweet garden peas that I have ever eaten . Beautiful staff and marvellous surroundings.

We had a big business dinner event here. Although the building and the food are very nice, we sadly experienced two negatives. Due to sitting in an underground cellar, that looks so nice, the echo is terrible. At least, if you want to be able to have a conversation with someone across the table. In addition, the toilets were disgusting. Even for London standards :s

Down in the lift(elevator) to the Café. Quickly found seats. Just needed coffee and cake! Plenty of customers eating meals. Friendly helpful staff. Tempting and freshly cooked food on display.Kitchen visible. Tables cleared efficiently and cleaned.

The location and the relative peace make the church interesting. The real highlight is of course the famous orchestra of the same name

Wow. I haven't had for a long time that good risotto with asperges. Ambient is nice and historical. Food good deserts even better.

We went for a concert Mozart s requiem Beautiful!

Expensive drinks in the courtyard to start the evening. Limited menu downstairs in the cafe prior to the show starting. Great music sound and venue even though you have to shuffle around to avoid the posts blocking your view of the show. I would go again but definitely eat and drink before I attend.

This church has lovely concerts and does wonderful work, but I object to being treated like a criminal merely for asking to print a ticket which I've already paid for. If you want me to print them for you, you should give a discount. Yet again, people without smartphones are treated like second-class citizens by the young.

Very nice place to recover from a day's walking in Central London

A very nice café in the basement!

A lovely place to visit and have a quiet time.

Austere, in the crypt you can eat or drink coffee.

Nice cafe in the crypt. Good coffee! We usually go there when the weather is a bit worse, and worse weather actually happens in London.

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!!

Beautiful quaint little church right in the centre of London. Definitely worth visiting and having a coffee in the crypt.

A classic of central London. Best to visit for a live concert. The crypt below is also very atmospheric.

A talk by Stephen Fry, interesting, entertaining, excellent.

The church is a divine wonderland! Remember to close at 5:00 pm

Went for the Blues evening. Brilliant

I remember going to the crypt at St Martin in the fields in the 1990s and there was a place that one could get a cup of coffee and something to eat quite cheaply. It did have a rough and ready atmosphere to it despite being beneath the church but that was part of its charm. Unfortunately, like so many places they have upped their game and priced most of us out of the market. I could not possibly afford to eat that anymore the food look nice but the portions were tiny and it was just too expensive. I wonder where young people meet now to drink coffee and chat certainly not here.

A lovely temple, definetely worthing a visit for a prayer or just the beautiful interior

A beautiful church. I was there for a BBC service celebrating 100 years of the BBC religious broadcasting and their connection with St Martins in the Fields. It was also a service for the Ascension and we were sitting near the organ. It was tremendous. A fantastic place to visit and worship.

Londons Hidden Cafe, The Crypt. Amazing delicious food! Excellent service and quick, highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful..been twice..vivaldi by candle light fantastic

A favourite when in London. Good food atm9sphere and mudic repetoire

I went to a concert. I was seated in the back and couldn't see most of the stage. I will sit somewhere else next time. The sound quality is good.

Cool place very reasonable prices.

This church is open for events lots during the week. The cafe in the crypt is a great place for food. I highly recommend it if you're visiting this part of London with young children and need a place with a bit more space and a slower pace for a lunch break. The prices are normal for London but the extra seating, highchair availability, and access to good changing rooms and toilets is really helpful.

Attended choral evensong 5pm Sunday. The service provided a perfect atmosphere for worship and reflection.

Really enjoy the Handel concert. Amazing performances.

The church is beautiful. Walk a little past it and then descend to the crypt. There is a restaurant there with tasty food and good coffee.
