FORTNUM & MASON
For generations, Fortnum & Mason's tea room was where Bertie Wooster types took their maiden aunts when they couldn't think what else to do with them.
More recently, it has become home to tourists picking up decorative tea caddies and enjoying the quaint and dated atmosphere. What luxuries! The chocolates, the own-label wines and spirits, the teas, the hampers, the caviar, the salmon, the cheeses, the gentlemen's relish, and so much more; but the splendid assistance from staff is what makes the place so remarkable.
Now, to celebrate its 300th anniversary next year, the iconic store is revamping its rather tired sales rooms. The first stage, to be revealed to the public on Monday, is a modern, stainless steel atrium that links the ground floor to the basement.
