St Martin-in-the-Fields

At the northeast corner of Trafalgar square, the beautiful landmark church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields stands from at least 1222. The present Neoclassical building was constructed between 1722 & 1724 and is dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours. The church was the location of the first religious broadcast and its musical tradition includes performances by Handel and Mozart and the founding of the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

There are daily church services, and free music every weekday as well as ticketed evening concerts from Thursday-Saturday. Downstairs discover traditional brass rubbing; visit the Shop; see a free exhibition in the Gallery and enjoy a meal or a Wednesday Jazz Night in the Café in the Crypt, the Les Routiers. More
