Café in the Crypt

"Would You Have Coffee in a Crypt Full of Graves in London? Located in the stunning crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields, at the edge of Trafalgar Square, this popular 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 daily changing menu of freshly prepared food, sustainably sourced whenever possible, and is great value for money for all to enjoy. 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. In case you're not familiar with the term, a crypt is a stone chamber beneath the floor of a building that contains relics and coffins. Standing inside, you are sandwiched between the living above and the dead beneath. Food is very hearty and affordable including tasty British classics like berry cobbler or pies."
