A Guide to the Next Few Weeks 

Last updated Wednesday 4th November 2020

You don’t reach the ripe old age of 313 without encountering a few bumps in the road. 

So, following the recent change to government restrictions, we have closed our stores in The Royal Exchange and St Pancras International along with all of our restaurants and bars until 2nd December, or until further guidance is issued stating otherwise. 

We’re happy to say that our Lower Ground, Ground and First Floor Food Halls in Piccadilly are still open and ready to serve the local community, while our Heathrow Terminal 5 outpost is open too. And for all our customers, don’t forget you can still shop online with us for fast UK & international delivery.

You can also find out more about how you can enjoy the wonderful world of Fortnum’s during the next few weeks below.
