Café in the Crypt is a very special place for its inspiring architecture and home-cooked food. All profits support the work of St Martin-in-the-Fields.
Located in the crypt of St Martin’s, this welcoming and hidden café has been a favourite of tourists and locals alike for 30 years. Original brick-vaulted ceilings and historic tombstones lining the floor provide the backdrop to a varied selection of freshly prepared, value for money food throughout the day.
