Where else to enjoy a drink if you pass by Trafalgar Square or attend a concert at Saint Martin in the Fields . Located in the crypt of the same name, this lovely place is a lovely relaxing place.

Nelson Ahmar

Nice Environment, salads , vegetables and soup of the day. Try the dinner with Music

Yarn Lam

Tucked away and hidden, serves good bites. Had a tea set (scone+cream+jam+tea/coffee) for about £7 thereabouts. Just don't tell your mother what's underneath. Self-serve tap water .

Nicole Mills

Canteen style restaurant set in the Crypt of St Martin’s in the Field in Trafalgar Square . Their clotted cream scones are great, but get there early!

Thomas Defise

For £5 you can have a good chocolate cake piece with a big cup of tea . One of the best place for a tea stop in that area

Karthik Deivarayan

The custard on beery and apple bake is definitely not for one person ... And the food looks amazing and the salads are marvellous ... I haven't had either of them though .!!

Valia Grigoriadou

Impressive indoor space but it could be even better and cozier. Food, cake and snacks and coffee are served here. Quite touristic I would say though.

Marie S.

Good for a quick canteen style lunch . Food is average, but not bad at all. Daily meat and vegetarian hot meal options. They also do jazz nights (tickets needed).

Caryll G

Really great fresh cheap (ish) food - gallery , exhibitions , shop, concerts and of course churchy stuff for those that way inclined

Eduardo Cardoso

A hidden gem in the middle of the city . Food was delicious and very well served, but the atmosphere was the champion.

Andrea F.

Such a great place with very good food and very good prices for central London

Jeremy Dent

Great value . Lovely soups . Can be busy at lunchtime but top central lunch spot . Ideal for National Gallery visit/combination.

Adam Smith

Goo place to hide away and have lunch and coffee . Free water available, so don't buy any bottled water!

Jonatan Skogsfors

Good place for a lunch if you're in the area. Don't forget to stop by the little shop and the brass rubbing.

Justin

Perfect place to get away from the hustle & bustle- somewhere beautiful & unusual to enjoy a quiet coffee

Jenn P

Lovely lunch spot but can fill up fast!

Shaun Weston

If you want to hide in a cellar with no phone service, sporadic wifi and grumpy staff , look no further! Tea and coffee will set you back two and a half British pounds, for sure.

Valentina Ciolino

This place is MASSIVE! I would call it canteen rather than café . Queue for food may be quite long

Londonist

Superb value, healthy, colourful, impressive salads , served just a metre or so above hundreds of corpses. Can't fault the place.

James Whatley

Weird little place near to trafalgar square . Went there for all day breakfast . Fairly standard but empty and accommodating.

Guy Corbet

Great for a quiet coffee in a busy part of town

Faith Wong

Grab a cuppa.

Stuart Wales

A great place, hidden away from the busyness of Trafalgar Square

Geert N

For a buffet the food is not bad. Reasonably prices and good atmosphere.

Anna Sinclair

Jazz Wednesday Night - great atmosphere, bad food. Would go back there for a cozy catch up with a mate on a Wednesday night. But probably wouldn't go back any other time.... Food is quite poor.

Kevin McCulley

Great historic venue for an afternoon tea

Sencan Sengul

Spacious cafe with live jazz every Wednesdays... Pleasant

Mike Newman

Cool location, large space but very bright

Giambattista Marchetto

This is a really cool place. Good food for few pounds #London

Erica P.

The restaurant here seems cheap and good, you can choose the meal from the day.

Nuray Çanga

Vegetarian dish option is great

Rem's Lavødrine

Very atypical place. But not that expensive for the neighbourhood and the food is good.

Foofah Dogglin

A serene atmosphere as a retreat from the hustle above ground

Claudia

Cheap and with great atmosphere

Terry Simpson

Great value and delicious

Ekaterina K.

Usually fish&ships. A bit unhealthy but for a good value .

Alexis

Free wifi and rooibos tea . Can't ask for more than that!

Ben Joyce

Lovely space, food good if a little over-priced.

Cool art exhibition on right now

I went exclusively to see Nell Gwynn's tomb, and not one person working there knew who I was talking about.

Topdeck Travel

Cheap eats in a cool (and slightly creepy) location!

Michael Easterbrook

Head underground to this cafe , nice setting, and cheaper than other central london cafe 's.
