Fortnum & Mason's new Christmas shop is now up and running, so let's have a look around! Fortnum & Mason (colloquially often shortened to just Fortnum's) is an upmarket department store in Piccadilly, London. It was established in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason. Founded as a grocery store, Fortnum's reputation was built on supplying quality food, and saw rapid growth throughout the Victorian era. Though Fortnum's developed into a department store, it continues to focus on stocking a variety of exotic, speciality and also basic provisions. The store has since opened several other departments, such as the Gentlemen's department on the third floor. It is also the location of a tea shop and several restaurants. In March 2012, the Queen, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge made their first official joint visit to Fortnum & Mason. During this visit, they were each presented with their own personalised hampers, and The Queen opened the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon on the fourth floor.
