About

St Martin-in-the-Fields is the iconic church on the northeast corner of Trafalgar Square. Throughout its history, dating back to at least 1222, St Martin’s hast been an innovator. It was the location of the first lending library and the first religious broadcast and St Martin’s pioneering work with homeless people starting in the First World War and continues today with the Connection at St Martin’s. A strong musical tradition including performances by Mozart and Handel and the founding of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields continues to flourish. Visitors can enjoy an outstanding church music programme as well as an internationally acclaimed concert programme, with six classical music concerts and one jazz night each week. St Martin’s is steeped in beautiful Georgian and modern architecture. The design and warm welcome extends downstairs for brass rubbing, shopping and favourite London eatery, the Cafe in the Crypt.

Cafe in the Crypt.

The café in the crypt of St Martin’s can be accessed from a very new lift on the street besides the church. The lift is roomy enough to turn around in if you want to exit it forwards. You exit into a gift shop, but there are no stands near the lift that obstruct access. Turn left to go into the café; the floor is made of slightly bumpy stone slabs, but is easy enough to cross in a wheelchair. The café tables are all spaced apart well, allowing easy traversal between them. They are all of normal height & thus can be reached from a wheelchair. The counter where food is bought is quite low down, & staff are willing to carry trays if needed. I did notice that there was a lift up into St Martin’s itself to one side, and the church does have a ramp in, making the whole venue quite accessible.

Good access

There is a lift down and there are two disabled toilets-one for men, one for women. It gets very busy as it is the cafeteria, but all the furniture is movable and the people who go there seem to be very friendly and slightly older so they deal wow with wheelchairs
