welcome to St Martins in the fields church and in particular its crypt this space is
amazing this lift shaft here is quite new it its a lift shaft that provides its the
entrance to the crypt but obviously its been built to provide disabled access to the to
the crypt they encourage you to take the stairs there are signs there encouraging that but
the lifts is so cinematic its like something out of a movie its like a Hollywood movie
set how many lifts have one button the crypt -1 the crypt here we go its like Hollywood
built this for a movie like the DaVinci code or something there is a gift shop here and
also donation boxes for St Martins in the field and connections at St Martins in the
field so if your interested in if your interested in helping the homeless definitely check out
their website I'll put a link in the description below but the most amazing space that is down
here is the eighteenth century vaulted crypt and it is home to a cafe it sounds quite creepy
on paper a church crypt with floors made up of ancient tombstones and head stones but
its really not the mix of ancient and modern the lighting and I guess the atmosphere the
friendly staff its a really nice place to come and very few people know its down here
we are in tourist central right now the streets above are some of the busiest in London but
its very much off the tourist trail its an amazing space to take a break and grab a quick
drink the cafe down here is open for breakfast lunch and dinner its an amazing space and
the food the food is good and above all else its great value for money and one night a
week they have jazz night down here the cafe is set up as a self service canteen
and the foods pretty simple but its all all the food and drink is ethically sourced its
very well prepared and I would say the combination of the architecture the amazing value for
money the food and drink is great value for money for any location but we are super central
here all that combined makes this one of the best hidden gems in London the food and drink
is such good value for money I mean most restaurants around here when you leave when you've paid
the bill your not feeling very charitable when you leave here there are donation boxes
on the way in and way out its such good value for money you'll feel compelled to give them
more money to donate to their charity and that is the other good reason to come here
its a charity all the proceeds go to a good cause they go to help the work of the church
who among other things do an amazing amount of work to help the homeless this is a really
popular shot with youtubers walking along filming their feet I bet you won't see many
walking along a floor made of historic tombstones and head stones well you won't without a fury
in the comments section anyway but a lot of the floor a lot of the floor here has been
made up of these old of these old tombstones I was planning on taking the the lift back
up to the street but they have all these signs telling you the good reasons to use the stairs
and what with it being Christmas I could do with the one of the good reasons is the exercise
and to be honest I need it right now with all the junk I shouldn't say junk as I'll
alienate possible sponsors and partners all the convenience food all the pies I'am going
to be eating this festive season I need every bit of exercise I can get
OK thanks for watching guys I hope you enjoyed this video I hope you enjoyed our trip to
Trafalgar Square and to the crypt of St Martins in fields church so Merry Christmas and until
tomorrow Toodles!
