St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path in Covent Garden

St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path in Covent Garden

St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path is a short walkway beside the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, which stands at the edge of Trafalgar Square on the southern side of the district. The path serves the church and the spaces around it, giving pedestrian access close to one of the most recognisable buildings in this part of London. As a minor route rather than a through street, it offers a quiet step away from the busier roads that meet nearby. The church itself is a well known landmark, and the path forms part of the immediate setting around it. Its scale is small and its purpose largely functional, linking the church precinct to the surrounding streets. St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path is best understood as part of the fabric around this church, a modest walkway tied to a prominent building on the southern edge of the Covent Garden area.
