Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon at Fortnum and Mason

Time Out says

Fortnum and Mason’s elegant Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon has been serving tea since way back in 1926 – before that, this spacious dining room on the fourth floor of the Mayfair department store was the Fortnum family apartment. While the decor is classic – and a little old-fashioned in parts – the aqua-patterned carpet, bright lights and mystical music will have you feeling like you’re in a fairytale, which only adds to its unique charm.

As for the afternoon tea itself, you can't really get better than a Fortnum and Mason's tea. Aside from the usual suspects (bubbles, scones and a selection of tea), the finger sandwiches are a variety of the classics – think smoked trout and chive cream cheese, cured ham and English mustard and cucumber with lemon and mint – and the scones are served up fresh with clotted cream fresh out of Somerset and Fortnum's very own strawberry preserve and orange curd. But the real draw here? The freshly baked patisseries that include a heavenly lemon meringue tart and a super-indulgent dark chocolate hazelnut praline. Enjoy.

Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon at Fortnum and Mason says
A Timeless Setting for Afternoon Tea

For over 300 years, our Tea Salon has taken many forms—from the Fortnum family’s private apartment to an antiques department and, later, the St. James’s Restaurant. Since 2012, it has honoured the great British tradition of Afternoon Tea as the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon, named for Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who opened the room with the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge. Today, it remains the perfect setting to enjoy this most elegant ritual.

This spring, our menu brings a fresh perspective to the timeless. Guests can savour sweet creations like Rose Éclair and Rhubarb & Bergamot Mousse, alongside seasonal savouries such as Dressed Lobster with Sauce Gribiche and Lamb, Pea & Mint Sausage Rolls. In addition to our classic Afternoon Tea, we also offer a dedicated Savoury Afternoon Tea for those with a more savoury palate, and a Spring High Tea featuring heartier dishes like English Asparagus with Hollandaise and a luxurious Victoria Lobster Omelette with Black Truffle.

Join us for a true taste of tradition—elevated for today.
