Cafe In The Crypt
About
Nestled beneath London’s iconic Trafalgar Square, Cafe In the Crypt offers a unique culinary experience inside the vaulted crypt of St Martin‑in‑the‑Fields. From 11 am until 7:30 pm daily, visitors can enjoy freshly prepared meals, savoury sandwiches, cakes and a selection of pizzas served after 3 pm. The menu emphasises sustainable sourcing and value‑for‑money options, making it a favourite for both locals and tourists. The café doubles as a lively cultural venue, hosting “Crypt Lates” each evening – jazz, cabaret and live music nights that make the historic space feel contemporary yet warm. Guests can also sip coffee and cakes during daylight hours or unwind at the outdoor courtyard garden café, open seasonally from May to September. Beyond food, the café supports the Church’s community work; every pound spent helps fund outreach programmes and conservation of the historic crypt. Group bookings and private events are welcome – simply email cafe@smitf.org for arrangements. Whether you’re seeking a relaxed lunch spot or a thoughtfully curated evening, Cafe In the Crypt blends heritage ambience with modern hospitality in one of London’s most renowned squares.
