Caring for the community around Trafalgar Square, St Martin in the Fields is not only a beautiful landmark that stands at the centre of London but also a very active church.

Its beautiful cool interior and crypt host a myriad of events but the most familiar to many Londoners are their free lunchtime concerts, offering a civilised break from the screen routine.

Completed in 1726, excavations going back to Roman times prove that this patch of ground has been the heart of the settlement that grew to become London since millennia ago.

St Martin in the Fields may not have many local residents around it but it is very much at the heart of London and their evening concerts, especially with carols at Christmas, are emotionally charged and uplifting ‘London’ happenings.
