LONDON - There are rituals that transcend mere dining, and the afternoon tea service at Fortnum & Mason's Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon is undeniably one of them. Tucked above the storied food halls of this Piccadilly institution, the salon-open
Beautiful shop and personable service.
So many teas, jams and gifts-oh my!! They have tons of biscuits and cookies that double as a music box that you wind up to Play!
Awful service and mediocre food
My daughters celebrated my birthday with a high tea at Fortnums in Picadilly. This was by far the most appalling high tea experience to date. It was one hour from the time of order to being served the first selection. We had to ask for everything m
Lovely spot for afternoon tea.
The room is bright and cheerful. I got three different pots of tea. Leave time to shop after.
Food service and atmosphere were impeccable.
This was our first tea experience and it did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend as a must do.
Donโt bother
Oh dear. It took nearly 20 minutes to get a drink. Eventually the tea arrived, and it was mediocre at best. Tasteless sandwiches. Mediocre scones. I tried one sweet and decided to leave the others. Total bill ยฃ220. One of the worst teas in London i
Bit of a tourist trap
My mum and I love afternoon tea and like to try out the various options in London. Usually we go to hotels but many people had recommended The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon so we thought we would try it out. The salon itself is nicely decorated. There

We had the High Tea along with the Sparkling Tea and a Seasonal Cocktail, all of which I'd highly recommend. Our server was Christin, who gave us excellent and personable customer service. Christin made the evening extremely enjoyable with lovel

Dined here this afternoon with my friend for the high tea and some cocktails. The food was decent and the room was very pretty but the service we received almost ruined the experience for us. Our waiter seemed very irritated when interacting with us
Not worth the money.
Slow service and the food really let them down. Not worth the money. They then had the cheek to ask for feedback twice, then did nothing. Terrible customer service.
I always come here for afternoon tea when visiting London.
The store alone is worth a visit as it's filled with the most amazing things. The tea and food is excellent as always but the staff isn't what it used to be. I find the hostess stand to be quite rude and while I know they are dealing with m
Rudeness and snobbery on the part of the servant
It was our last day of vacation in London, and my wife, son, and I decided to treat ourselves to one last afternoon tea, choosing Fortnum & Mason. While my wife was shopping downstairs, I asked my son, who, unlike his father, spoke English, to ac

Initial Reaction: Diamond Jubilee Tea Room at Fortnum and Mason is class. If you have never done proper tea time before, you can't go wrong with having afternoon tea at this location. The tea room is lovely and bright. The staff is helpful. An
An Underwhelming Afternoon Tea Experience
I love Fortnum & Masons, in years gone by some of my favourite afternoon tea experiences have been here. However, on this occasion I was disappointed. My wife and I had been looking forward to this occasion greatly, as it marked our 23rd wedding
Thank you Angus and Matilda for a lifelong memory.
This experience will always stay with me. Beautiful tea, Clair de Lune and a lovely server named Matilda. The room was magical and we have a cozy corner banquet I had chosen the vegan option and I was happy to have the opportunity to enjoy a truly de

My first afternoon tea and a good choice for any beginner.
My boyfriend and I appreciate the experience and this was such a pleasant anniversary surprise. We both chose the afternoon tea package versus the high tea with bigger portions. The afternoon tea choice has a selection of 4 sandwiches and a tray of t

I cannot say enough good things about this place.
It was just simply amazing for the decor to the staff to the quality of the sandwiches and tea, cakes and the tea selections. Everything was magnificent if you're in London, please go.

We had an extremely nice afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason for my birthday.My daughter chose beef fillet (High Tea) and I had the traditional afternoon tea.Sandwiches & cakes could be refilled if requested and as you would expect an extensive

What a fun and special experience! It is my first time in London and I was determined to do a few afternoon teas - and this was the first one I booked! We had a reservation and were seated promptly. I started with the sparkling tea (non-alcoholic)
Donโt go anywhere else for Afternoon Tea!
My husband and I went for afternoon tea to celebrate our anniversary and it was nothing short of marvellous. The exquisite cakes were a real highlight - I dare you find better cakes in London! Weโve been to quite a few Michelin star restaurants tha
Truly luxurious indulgence that is worth every penny
Not our first time in London, but our first tea at Fortnum & Mason. Truly an extraordinary experience start to finish. My daughter has a nut allergy, but great news! The standard afternoon tea menu is already nut free. Our vegetarian friend found
Disappointing afternoon tea
Having been for afternoon tea here on many occasions before, I was very disappointed with my visit today. The price has increased and they have lessened what you get. No longer are you given a refill to your pot of tea or a piece of cake from the c
Not as good as previous visits
This place did not feel as special and attentive as previous visits. The food was not as tasty and the small details like a birthday acknowledgement were missing.
Great afternoon tea
We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea! My husband got the savory tower and I got the sweet one. Then we shared. I got iced tea which is super hard to find in London. It was made with strawberry tea. I liked it so much that I purchased some for at
High Tea in the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon
Have just returned from High Tea at Fortnum and Masons - found it to be overpriced and underwhelming - service was pleasant but for ยฃ85 I would rather go to a restaurant for a 3 course meal - the cakes were below average and the first pot of tea whi
The best tea experience, ever!
I researched all the best kid-friendly high teas in London and chose Fortnum & Mason - we loved it! They have a great kids tea menu that includes simple sandwiches, mini scones, and a great dessert plate, along with your choice of a juice or beve
It's so touristy, not good value for what I paid.
Really not impressed. Wish I did more research before going and picked another place instead.
Clearly, this is a special and expensive experience.
Not your every week affair. Ultimately, the Fortnum and Mason store itself is a tourist destination and major attraction in and of itself, with the tastings, beautiful decor, yummy tea and goodies, and the historic setting. The Diamond Jubilee Tea Ro
Delicious & Deligtful
We had a very delicious afternoon tea in the newly furnished Diamond Jubilee Salon. Lovely choice of afternoon tea ie savoury, champagne, we had both. Great atmosphere, staff were fabulous. Recommend it to one and all. Until the next time prior to C

I love nothing more than a good afternoon tea and London is the perfect spot for this. Last summer I took my 3 kids to the science tea at the Ampersand Hotel, which was a perfect intro to tea for children (+ entertaining). Since I just had my oldest
The place was crammed into a small nook.
The food was too many calories and too much pork. We could only get the halal option, and only a few things were good. The menu is confusing and the place is not kid friendly . It was over branded and overpriced. Only our waitress Blessey was a real
The food is absolutely disgusting and inedible.
So sad that it was so pretty but my husband and I spit out literally everything, it was beautiful but even the sweet treats did not taste appealing,
Excellent afternoon tea
Wonderful afternoon tea, thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious and waiter service from Ivan was polite, helpful and efficient. I look forward to returning for another special treat.
Waste of hard earned money.
Afternoon tea treat for a special birthday. ยฃ225 later....I had to get out of my seat to find a waiter to top up my teapot. Sandwiches were ordinary, cakes bland. Service well below par. Expensive nonsense.
Good Experience - But
We live close to London and visit often. we have had afternoon tea on many occasions in various less known establishments. Our children looking for a Christmas present for us thought this would be a good idea - and it was . After a pleasant morning a

The only place to go for high-tea and first rate service. Do you like high-tea? Even if not, this is the place to go. Elegant, great (all-you-can-eat) food, champagne, tea, cakes, finger sandwiches. And if you want to see first rate purveying, vis

Visited with a group and did the afternoon tea, which was fantastic. Vibe is a little more traditional, but the food and tea are much better than at Sketch (my other fave spot for tea). Highlights were the coronation chicken and cucumber sandwiches.

It physically pains me to give F&M 3 stars but I am focusing on the FOOD/Diamond Jubilee tea aspect more than anything else. First off, it's such a staple and if I were visiting London again with someone who had never been and they said let's d

Perhaps I have super high standards when it comes to my afternoon teas, but I didn't feel that this one lived up to the price. It was fun as a one-time thing, but considering how many tea options there are in London, I wouldn't go back here. Yes, it
Stellar service, ambience and food.
Great kids' portion, too. Highly recommend Fortnum and mason for classic afternoon tea.
Delicious!!
My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon tea, with excellent service - every moment and mouthful was a delight. My husband had the savoury version and I had the veggie version and both enjoyed it very much. Was nice to try new teas and the delig
Fun to do but not worth the money
Overall a fun experience but would be good to note the price beforehand. Prices started at 80 pounds per person for some light bites and a pot of tea. I would not say the service here was anything spectacular. Our waitress disappeared for a while but
It was worth it
We wore neat casual clothes and felt comfortable. The staff was very attentive. They accommodated a substitution of one item due to an allergy. The tea assortment is substantial, and they are happy to discuss the choices and make recommendations.
This was one of the best high teas I have ever had in
This was one of the best high teas I have ever had in London. Incredibly delicious, generous servings, and impeccable service. The atmosphere was formal, yet relaxed. A perfect balance!
Deliciously
Had a delightfully, delicious afternoon tea here at F&M. Staff were charming and courteous, a credit to F&M. Always worth a visit. Till the next time.
