This is an adorable pitstop while shopping in central London or perfect for tourists or visiting friends while taking in one of the most beautiful and iconic department stores in London. Even browsing the tea department is a special and uplifting experience. The kids will also be over the moon with the 'build your own sundae' menu. The parlour is outrageously pretty, decorated in a rainbow of pastels and you can even have a miniature ice-cream balanced delightfully on the rim of your cup of choice.
If you are on the hunt for a serious sugar rush and I scream for ice cream sundaes, this is a great spot to enjoy some serious guilty pleasure. Tucked away on the first floor of Fortnum and Mason this is worth a visit. The sundaes are huge with a variety of flavours and combinations and so well presented. They offer a selection of drinks and cream teas as well as a large choice of savoury items too, all served on silver platters with cotton napkins. It's never been too busy when I've visited although I suspect this might be different during the weekend and the service has always been good.
There's very few places you can gorge on ice cream and feel refined, but The Parlour is definitely one of them. I thought booking a table for two on a Monday afternoon was going to be unnecessary but I'm very glad that I did! It was heaving. Delicious and expensive - everything you'd expect from Fortnum's! Also, I mentioned it was my sister's birthday and they sang a very low-volume-non-embarrassing happy birthday to her. How charming!
