Fortnum and Mason


I loved shopping in this lively and spacious specialty store, looking for just the right edible gifts to take to friends and family back home. Their chocolates are delectable, as well as their other sweets, and packaged so creatively as to make them nearly irresistible.

It was fascinating to browse through the many unique offerings. There is every type of chocolate imaginable, combined with every nut or flavor imaginable. There is an extensive jam/jelly/condiment section: I bought lemon curd (nearly intoxicating), orange curd and lime marmalade. And there are so many sauces, for every occasion!

The associates are very pleasant as well as patient, willing to answer any questions and even supply a sample if you are in doubt. Although there were plenty of shoppers browsing throughout the store, for some reason I didn’t feel crowded or rushed here. And surprisingly, prices are not nearly as high as one would expect in such an elegant store; in fact, compared with elsewhere in London, I would actually consider them affordable!

[SIDE NOTE: While in London, be sure to try the Original HP Sauce. It’s a brown sauce with a distinctive taste which is served in most restaurants. It is made of all natural ingredients and goes well with just about everything. I bought a bottle of it at F & M to take home, though I’m sure it is available at any grocery store.]
