August 2024This church does so many things right! Rev. Dr. Sam Wells is a highly regarded theologian with 44 books published. His Worship Services are really great. His sermons connect ancient scriptures with today's Pop Culture, giving fresh insights in a changing world. There are also Worship Services in other languages on Sunday Afternoons. The Crypt Cafe down stairs is a wonderfully used space to help with their mission with the homeless. The food is good and you can enjoy the architecture of the vaulted ceiling! Behind the church is a multi use event center with concerts that can appeal to all generations. We visited in 2012, 2024 and would not consider a visit to London without Worshipping at St. Martin-in-the- Fields, although it has been many generations since the church was 'in the Fields'; it is in Trafalgar Square.

August 2024This is a lovely church and the crypt is a great place to go for cake and coffee (it also serves meals) with plenty of seating.

August 2024A beautiful building with great acoustics. We went to see the sung Eucharist but even though it was advertised, there was no choir and only a spoke service. The building is beautiful especially the window behind the alter. Worth a visit.

August 2024St Martins is a great music venue for non name acts. in the summer, the courtyard puts on free live music, and can be a great place to have a beer and watch a band / singer. They also put on shows indoors, either in the crypt or the main church, usually of a more cultural nature, but not free.

June 2019St Martin-in-the-Fields was the ideal central London venue for our event.
