Fortnum & Mason Tea
Website: www.fortnumandmason.com
Info: In 1705 Hugh Mason had a small shop in St James's Market and a spare room in his house. The Fortnum family had come to London from Oxford as high-class builders in the wake of the Great Fire, helping to establish the St James's and Mayfair areas as the most fashionable in London. William climbed another rung by taking a post as footman in Queen Anne's household - and the room at Mr Mason's.
The Royal Family’s insistence on having new candles every night meant a lot of half-used wax for an enterprising footman to sell on at a profit – so while the Queen’s wages paid the rent, William's enlightened sideline melted down into enough to start a respectable business. The rest, as they say, is grocery.
