Cafe in the Crypt, London

very popular London cheap eat is in a 300-year old...crypt! Yes! Cafe in the Crypt, in St. Martin-in-the-Fields church, offers nice crumbles, afternoon tea & much more under lovely brick arches.

You can pop in for live jazz or just enjoy dining atop bodies :) (Charles II's famed mistress, Nell Gwyn, is somewhere there).

  10. Hi Ashley - yes, while it's not haute cuisine, it's lively, fun and affordable (for London!) - with the bonus lovely, brick-vaulted arches :) Thanks so much for dropping by!
