City folk will no longer have to trek over to Piccadilly to get their fix of Queen Anne blend and Toffolossus biscuits as Fortnum & Mason opens a new standalone store at The Royal Exchange.

The opening, slated for 1 November, will mark the food retailer’s first City-based operation, offering its signature hampers and gifts alongside food and drink from its famed food halls. The heritage brand will also occupy a separate 90-cover bar and dining area.
