St Martin-in-the-Fields Ltd

If you can arrange a trip here whilst there is a concert on, I urge you to do it.

Having just returned after seeing Mozarts Reqieum by candle light it was a fantastic evening, even the non-classical husband loved it!

We paid top price tickets £24 for the nave and ordered online no problem after reading the reveiws on tripadvisor.

A fabulous evenings entertainment well worth it.

Try to plan your visit here to coincide with one of their many fantastic concerts. In my experience the performances have always been excellent and its a wonderful way to experience the space.

With the National Gallery, Nelson’s column and the grandeur of Trafalgar Square it is easy to overlook this wonderful marvel. The current building has been here for nearly three hundred years, but has been the site of worship since the thirteenth century. Hard to believe when you stand in the square but this sanctuary garnered its name originally because it did actually reside “in the fields” between the cities of Westminster and London.

The church itself has a subtle beauty that quickly wins you over and their work with the homeless is certainly admirable. You find yourself drawn back here though by the delightful concerts they put on both during lunch and in the evening, the oasis that is the delicious Café in the Crypt right below the church and the memorable brass rubbing center. It isn’t hard to disregard this among the many sites of London, but it is a marvel that deserves a spot on your “must see” list.
