English tea shop, supplier of the crown. The place is very nice. There are very classic teas and blends, cookies and other cakes, many packaging to make gifts. Regarding teas, there is choice, but it is not extraordinary either.

This little outpost of Fortnum & Mason is like one of those London secrets you don't want to share. The location is outstanding. The champagne is delicious. It's got the feeling of a first class lounge - classy, quiet, relaxed and just a touch indulgent. All the things I love. The oysters are fantas...

Scones are delicious.

Super full.

Anyway, the salty point is average, the cake is too sw...

Visited recently for a business breakfast

Great coffee, good food, friendly table service BUT the greeter (I won t give her the honour of being referred to as a maitre d ) is rude, sneering and sarcastic - she lets the place down and clearly feels she s above her customers.

I tried a small plate as I wasn't too hungry - I had the beluga which comes with a nice presentation, and scrambled eggs to your liking, cooked on an arriving trolley. Excellent with a nice glass of champagne.

With the Royal Exchange behind as a backdrop, one cant really complain, can one? Reco...

Lovely venue (but it always was). Service is laughable, so slow, left standing around for ages, wrong wine brought, could not get food and drinks to arrive at the same time. The whole thing was painful for somewhere so overpriced. Lets hope they get their act together fast or this isn't going to las...

I've always loved this brand, but I've had such a disappointing online experience with them that I had to give them one star. 3 hampers ordered and not a single one delivered, and no communication to say so. Just take my money then nothing. Sort your CRM system out, because you're really letting you...

It s a beautiful place to sit for a drink especially with all of the Christmas decorations, however when we had a drink here we did seem to be invisible to the staff when it came to ordering... it does have a bit of a snobby vibe, not sure I d bother returning, I think there s better places around w...

My food, which I ordered 3 times, never came. Also I booked a table and the waiter said I could only sit on a table and not at the bar if I ordered dinner (which I did, but it never came, after 45 minutes of waiting) he then came up to me 40 minutes later to tell me the ice cream (which I had never ...

By far the most unwelcoming Fortnum s that I ve been to. They literally just want you to pay and get out of there. The staff provides no service, certainly not to the standard of Fortnum we expect. No smiles, no eye contact, and they just look annoyed all the time.

Avoid avoid avoid.

Beautiful looking venue, the central bar is just stunning. The service was warm friendly and attentive, all the staff I came across were also very knowledgeable. The food was served in good time, fresh & delicious, will definitely be returning to try more of the menu, they even serve afternoon tea.

A lovely experience. I m not much of a tea drinker (strike that - I don t like tea) but I had a wonderful time. The food with the high tea was delicious. The company was great and the experience was once in a lifetime. Well worth it if you have the time.

Beautiful buding and extraordinary location. You feel royal having a cup of tea or English breakfast here. Accomodates to dietary requirements. The building is a little bit cold like a typical old building or museum so I always bring a silk cashmere scarf from Hermes as a blanket when eating here. T...

Fortum's shop in the Royal Exchange is an absolute gem in the neighborhood. You have a great selection of teas, biscuits, honey and jam. Tea tasting is available every day. The interaction with the staff is friendly and fun. Love going there for a little break!

Such a lovely setting, was a treat for my 60th birthday. Was slightly disappointed that there didn't seem to be a dress code and anything seemed to be acceptable . Tea and cakes were lovely although some of the finger sandwiches had gone slightly past their best and a little dry on the edges

For the love of God please avoid this place at all costs. Unbelievably F&M have managed to create the antithesis of their Piccadilly home in this most spectacular City Venue. Unwelcoming and unfriendly this City of London tourist trap is tellingly devoid of local patrons. Very much the poor relation...

Very nice dignified atmosphere and free Wi-Fi in the former stock exchange. Unfortunately, the waiters are a bit over friendly and there was no napkin to the dripping teapot. But you can still switch off super in the noisy city.

Did not order food, just shopped the F+M store
The selection is pretty awesome and you get a much more personal experience compared to the craziness of the main location. We enjoyed asking questions and learning neat flavor combinations with the loose leaf teas. Wangu and Tabita were rockstars!
