The Church
The church is open every day and visitors are welcome to attend a service for prayer and reflection, a concert or one of the many events. Visitors are also welcome to walk-in and experience the
beautifully restored architecture as long as a ticketed event is not taking place.
Concerts
Concerts in the serene yet warm and welcoming church are a magical experience. Outstanding music and artists enrich the cultural life at St Martin’s, with internationally renowned musicians performing every week in a series of outstanding classical concerts, Crypt Lates, candlelight and lunchtime concerts, along with the popular Crypt Cafe, gift shop and lecture series. Booking tickets in advance is highly recommended.
Cafe in the Crypt
Named the Café/Bistro of the Year in the Food Awards London 2020, the Café in the Crypt is a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of Trafalgar Square and the perfect place for a snack or
meal if you’re going to a concert in the church or visiting a nearby attraction. The daily changing menu of freshly prepared food, sustainably sourced whenever possible, is great value for local
workers and visitors on the tourist trail. It’s also the atmospheric setting of the Crypt Lates, where the iconic vaulted Crypt transforms into an atmospheric music and cabaret venue, with a fully
stocked bar and great food options.
The Shop
Open all year around, the shop, situated in the Crypt, is a great place to find cards, gifts, books and homeware, which are fairtrade and unique, hitting just the right note.
