On one of our trips to London, we were wandering around near Trafalgar Square. For once it was actually hot and sunny and we were all dragging a little bit. We desperately needed a good place to sit and cool off for a while. (Not to mention a certain person needed the loo....aka the bathroom). We saw some stairs that went down below the sidewalk and of course,my little was obsessed with finding out where these mysterious stairs ended. As it turns out they went to St. Martins in the Fields Crypt. We found ourselves in an ancient stone crypt. Thankfully it included a cafe, bathrooms, a shop, and best of all.......a chance to do some brass rubbing!
My very talented husband put together a little video of our activity so you can get an idea of what this amazing place is like. It would be very easy to miss this place and it is truly thanks to the curiosity of a six-year-old that we had to explore!
