London’s most serene Beauty Hall – an entire floor – opened its doors just days ago on the second floor at Fortnum & Mason’s in Piccadilly, London W1.
It’s been two years in the making and worth the wait. In an homage to the Georgian era, when ladies would invite their favourite hat makers and perfumiers to their homes to order bespoke pieces for the new season, Fortnum’s has come up trumps making it *the* new perfume destination in the capital, with a really innovative, original fragrance edit and a handpicked line-up of fabulous beauty brands (not all of which you may have heard of, already). No loud music, no massive carbon footprint glaring lights, no forging your way through a maze of Oxford Street shoppers – what a breath of calm, fresh air.
So come and have a look around as we spotlight some of the highlights of this divine new beauty sanctuary, complete with treatment rooms, too, so you can make an afternoon of it, then stop off for a spot of tea at the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon on the fourth floor before a wander around the Food Hall…

ILIA’s natural lip colours are great, and F&M’s new beauty floor is one of just a few places in London where you can see them in store

If you already have some lines on your face I can strongly recommend Weleda Day Cream and Night Cream. After an operation on my left ear years ago, lines had started to appear on the left side of my face. I began to use Weleda Night Cream and Day Cream and after some weeks these lines are definitely diminishing.
That’s a super piece about Fortnum & Mason – thanks!
