Café in the Crypt
Super-central, fun, and unquestionably memorable, it’s the tastiest graveyard in town! Under the sanctuary of the historic St Martin-in-the-Fields church at Trafalgar Square, atop the graves of 18th-century Londoners—fret not, the former occupants were moved elsewhere decades ago—one of the West End’s sharpest bargains is served. The menu at this dependable 200-seat cafeteria changes monthly, but the large portions always include a few meat pies baked to perfection, a vegetarian choice, soups, salads topped with meats, and sweet apple crumble with custard; there’s also fish-and-chips on Friday. The church keeps the draft beer and the wine (even by the bottle) flowing. This may be the only crypt you’ll ever enter that’s a lifesaver—at least for your budget.
