Fortnum & Mason Afternoon Tea for Two in The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon

Posted on

 

Now, this isn't a gift membership - but if you're looking for a special treat for someone and they are in or headed to London, how about giving them a Fortnum & Mason Afternoon Tea for Two in The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon?

Fortnum & Mason has an incredible history.   Originally an exceptional grocer in the heart of London, it's now one of the world's preeminent destination stores.   And the tradition of taking tea has been an integral part of that growth.  

So how about Afternoon Tea in the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon?  It actually was originally an apartment for the Fortnum famly, and then in the 1920s and 1930s, became an interior decorating department.  Then it became an antiques department and a restaurant known as St. James’s.  However ,since 2012 it has been serving up Afternoon Tea! 

The Salon was opened by the late HM The Queen, in the presence of their Royal Highnesses the then Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge.  So this really is a rather special place to tuck into sweet and savoury delights!  Imagine having Afternoon Tea in this Salon, opened by royalty!

To make Afternoon Tea all the sweeter, Virgin Experience Days have a couple of offers on Afternoon Tea for Two in the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon!

Enjoy a host of sweet and savoury delights - finger sandwiches and exquisite cakes, together with freshly-baked scones with clotted cream and of course Fortnum's preserves.  An expert 'Tearista' will be on hand to advise you which tea is right for you - there's quite a range of signature blends, single-estate and infusion teas!
