With sites such as the National Portrait Gallery and National Gallery, Trafalgar Square is a popular location for art lovers. There are the obvious places for anyone to visit, unless you think outside the box and go in search of less mainstream locals, then you are going to miss out on some hidden gems.

Trafalgar Square is also home to St. Martin-in-the-Fields , a Georgian church where people can attend service, listen to concerts, and worship. But below the grand entrance lies St. Martin's Crypt, where the eighteenth century architecture acts as a unique backdrop to for their collection of modern art and photography.

There are currently two exhibitions running at the moment, with two more soon on the way:
