Every year, we launch a collection of unique, small-batch honey harvested from London's rooftop hives across London. Each jar is hand filled and numbered by artisan beekeepers, capturing the distinct character of its location.
The range is exclusive to Fortnum's and sourced from hives in Piccadilly, St Pancras, Hoxton, Bermondsey, Somerset House and Royal Albert Hall.
These are limited-edition batches with subtle flavour variations each year.
The London Rooftop Honey range is generally available in store and online in the spring.
This year, the range is launching on 2nd June 2025.
In the interest of fairness, there is no way to pre-order or set aside a jar. In general the Piccadilly jars sell out in a week and the other honeys last 3-4 weeks and each batch has a limited number of jars.
