St Martin Vintry, Medieval church building in Vintry Ward, City of London, England.

The St Martin Vintry church stood at the intersection of Queen Street and Upper Thames Street, near the current location of Southwark Bridge.

The church was initially constructed in 1306 with financial support from Queen Margaret, who specifically contributed funds for the choir section.

The Vintners Company maintained a dedicated altar within the church to honor St Martin, reflecting the strong connection between wine merchants and religious practices.

The church foundations, discovered during construction work in 1957, revealed a 21-foot wide nave with north and south aisles built from ragstone and chalk.

Seven human skeletons were uncovered during the 1986 redevelopment of the site, providing evidence of the church's historical use as a burial ground.
