St Martin-in-the-Fields, Church building in Trafalgar Square, London, United Kingdom.

St Martin-in-the-Fields features a neoclassical design with a 192-foot spire, Greek Revival elements, and an elliptical ceiling supported by Corinthian columns.

The current structure, completed in 1726 by architect James Gibbs, replaced earlier buildings dating back to 1222 and served to prevent plague victims from passing near Whitehall Palace.

The church maintains royal connections as the parish church of the British Royal Family while in London and regularly hosts classical music concerts throughout the year.

Located at the northeast corner of Trafalgar Square, the church offers free entry to visitors, with separate tickets required for musical performances and guided tours.

The church crypt contains a café serving meals beneath arched brick ceilings and functions as a venue for jazz performances and art exhibitions.
