St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square sits right in the heart of London and boasts some of the most unusual and spectacular spaces in which to hold events. From corporate parties, brand activations, private celebrations, film location work, West End opening night parties, product launches to meetings, training sessions and more, we can accommodate you across a variety of unique and memorable spaces.

Our stunning 18th century Crypt and Gallery combined can hold up to 500 guests standing, or 200 seated. St Martin’s Hall & Lightwell are perfect for meetings, conferences and training lectures holding 200 standing or 100 seated. Conference and meeting rooms full of natural daylight are available for smaller events or breakout spaces, whilst our outdoor Courtyard is perfect for summer parties.

We are centrally positioned 100m from Charing Cross and we have a 2am license so you can party into the early hours. Our in-house catering team can deliver exquisite fine dining packages or spectacular catering for larger numbers, all within a range of costs to suit your budget, and we can source entertainment for your event should you need us to.

We have a dedicated professional events team who will work with you every step of the way to make your event the most memorable it can be.

By holding your event with us at St Martin’s, you will be helping us to continue our work with communities and the homeless in London.


The Crypt is our most exclusive space. There is nothing quite like it in London and the open layout and large capacity (up to 500 standing including the Gallery) makes it the perfect location for receptions, dinners and networking events. We’ve played host to major opening night parties for the stars, film crews using it as a distinctive location backdrop in major movies, themed parties, wedding receptions, fashion shows and more.

With infinitely flexible ways to dress the space, and full hospitality services to cater for your guests, the Crypt can be transformed to suit any number of requirements.

    Attended amazing light show in the crypt and the church. Very well organised and unlike any other light show I have seen to date

    Still elevated to the clouds of joy and mesmerized by the incredible talent of The Baroque Chamber Orchestra of London. Incredible performance on this Friday after Thanksgiving in St-Martin-in-the-Fields. We had front row seats. The intensity of the cellist and the top violinist will stay with me forever. Bravo a thousand times. Must must MUST experience.

    St Martin-in-the-Fields was the ideal central London venue for our event.

    Went for the Life light display, it was short and sweet. Could have been longer, and more light shows, especially as we queued for over half an hour. Still nice though.

    Concerts are a little special here. The church itself is over granduer with a basic structure of puritanism. The distinct far window is to behold is this the entrance to a portal. Candlelight concerts are not just candlelit, but have candles shattered about.
