Follow me on:

In 1966 Fortnum and Mason added the ornate clock over their front entrance on Piccadilly. The eighteen bells chime every 15 minutes and on the hour, doors open and four foot high figures of Mr Fortnum and Mr Mason appear. They bow to each other, check standards are being upkept(!), turn around and go back inside. See photos and find out more...
