Available to book from 1 May 2015, The View from The Shard and Fortnum & Mason will partner to offer Sky-High Tea experiences. Celebrate the Great British summer-time with the city’s finest afternoon tea from the iconic 308 year-old home of fine food, dining and exquisite gifts at the top of London’s newest icon on the skyline.
A limited number of Fortnum & Mason picnic experience tickets (40 per day) will be available to book at The View from The Shard for sittings starting 23 June. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious Fortnum & Mason ‘Hamperling’ filled with a classic afternoon tea selection on the Level 72 open-air sky deck amongst seasonal floral decoration and the stunning panoramic views for up to 40 miles.
Prefer a weather-safe option in the unpredictability of the English summer? Tickets to The View from The Shard will also be available with special Afternoon Tea packages at Fortnum & Mason’s Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon. Enjoy the best of both London icons at your leisure – take in the spectacular view from Western Europe’s tallest building – and then take a trip to Fortnum’s in Piccadilly for afternoon tea in the exquisite surroundings of the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon.
Fortnum & Mason picnic ‘Hamperlings’ include classic finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, a miniature jar of raspberry jam, and their signature Royal Blend tea. To truly celebrate, champagne can also be added when booking. 40 picnic tickets will be available from midday to 18:00 beginning 23 June until 8 September. Picnic packages are available to book online at www.theviewfromtheshard.com
