A year ago, in March 2012 Her Majesty the Queen opened the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon in luxury food and wine store Fortnum and Mason.

In celebration of the Queen’s 60 year reign, Fortnum and Mason Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon will host its celebratory luxury coronation Afternoon Tea.

As one of the Queen’s favourite spots, Fortnum and Mason are hosting a luxurious afternoon tea filled with sweet and savoury delights. With a menu fit for royalty, the tea will include in a miniature beef wellington, Norfolk asparagus tartlet with hollandaise sauce and a smoked salmon and cucumber blini with sauce vierge and asparagus en croute. To satisfy your sweet tooth, an assortment of sweet treats, including Maids of Honour and Kent strawberries; all of which were part of the original Coronation banquet. No tea is complete without a traditional scone with clotted cream, served with a choice of Fortnum and Mason preserves, this luxury tea will leave you feeling like a Queen.

Devised by head chef Jane Smyth, the elegant tea offers a range of classics in bitesize portions. Since her coronation at Westminster Abbey in June 1953, the Queen has remained a graceful and elegant leader and what better way to mark this than with a traditional British tea.

The home of tea and all things luxury in food, wine, beauty and accessories, Fortnum and Mason is an unspoilt treasure of London since launching in the 1700s.

Available until 31 July 2013, from 5pm 7 days a week, The Coronation Afternoon Tea is one not to be missed.
