| Last reviewed: May 2026 Founded in 1707 as a candle and grocery shop on Piccadilly, Fortnum's is the food hall the audience has been buying tea, biscuits and Christmas hampers from for three centuries. The ground-floor hall, confectionery, charcuterie, the famed tea counter, sits below the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon on the fourth floor, where afternoon tea has been served since the building's 2012 redesign. Ground-floor 45 Jermyn St. and the Parlour are the rooms to know; the hampers (mailed worldwide) are the souvenir the audience already buys.
Editor's Tip
Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon books three to four weeks ahead; the Parlour walk-in for ice cream and sundaes. Ground-floor tea counter does loose-leaf weighed-out service, the Royal Blend and the Smoky Earl Grey are the household names. Hampers ship internationally; the wicker is part of the gift.
