St Martin-in-the-Fields

The facilities have been extensively modernised, and wheelchair access improved. There's a permanent ramp on the north side (off St Martin’s Place) leading to doors controlled by a large ‘push’ button. Just inside there’s a platform lift (D80 L160), which bypasses the ±28 steps, to get to the crypt. Alternatively there’s a circular lift (D100 diameter200) outside under a glass cupola. This leads to the crypt which contains a very friendly licenced café, a shop, a brass rubbing centre and two wheelchair toilets (D80 ST80). The surfaces are slightly bumpy here as the flagstones in the floor are very old. Brass rubbing is done on low tables which are suitable for most chair users. A second lower crypt area, is accessed by another platform lift. St Martin’s hosts numerous concerts and events. Church services held there regularly. There are usually at least four wheelchair spaces at the front of the nave. For more details see www.accessinlondon.org Measurements are in cm.
