A surprising find from a building you walk past every time you visit Trafalgar Square. An amazing building in itself with great use of its historic catacombs, now a quality cafe and music venue. Definitely worth a visit both historically or for a rest and rehydration stop.

Beautiful architecture. On a sunny day it is a picture perfect. Located, good for kids. Still on lockdown, so just visiting the outside. Worth doing the Church Tour. Recommended
Three back to back Christmas Concerts...a fabulous night in! Best value ever and a real treat to be able to watch again. Thank you all who made it happen...I know where I ll be giving this Christmas!
Loved! I attended a candlelit concert on a Friday night after dinner in the crypt. The concert was great, highly recommend! The cafe in the crypt is cool to checkout whether you eat there, or not. The food was good and reasonably priced. You can grab a pint before the show and/or during intermission. It's essentially a cafeteria, so if you're looking for a fancier meal, this isn't it.
When going through a rough patch in my life I asked for help at this church and a man called Ben who is about to become a priest at some point directed me towards The Connection charity and I just want to say thanks for this as they ve been really helpful!
This church is probably best known for it's prominent location in London situated right across from Trafalgar Square and the National Portrait Gallery as well has being only 10 minutes walk from Leicester Square. It's supposed to be the parish church of the royal family, making it another draw.
There's a lot of history related to the church dating all the way back to Roman times, so it's worth taking the guided tour. The cafe is also interesting, as it's location in the church crypt.
I especially liked the clear glass window with it's peculiarly shaped mullions behind the alter.
Beautiful building and the afternoon concerts are simply divine. I can't think of anything better than sitting there and listening the wonderful performances and letting them transcend over me. Thank you for a lovely time and brilliant concert!
