Fortnum & Mason is one of London's smartest department stores and it sells the very best of everything - including fabulous food items, sumptuous tableware and designer womenswear. This is still the place to go for a formal afternoon tea. Established in 1707, this is where Scott of the Antarctic stocked up on groceries and provisions. Excellent gift ideas abound. Also located within are: the Fountain Restaurant, Patio Restaurant, Salmon & Champagne Bar and the St James's Restaurant.
