Natural History Museum

Natural History Museum celebrates nature with the launch of a new afternoon tea, available in this exclusive members’ space boasting unrivalled views of the Museum’s famous architecture.

Aptly named Inspired by Nature, an array of sweet and savoury treats has been expertly created by our pastry chefs to celebrate British farmers and growers and is inspired by nature’s wonders to showcase the very best of British seasonal produce.

Inspired by Nature, priced from £35, then with Prosecco £40.

The afternoon tea experience is prebook only but open to all, providing the perfect opportunity to relax after a tour of the museum’s latest exhibitions.

The afternoon tea is served Wednesday through Friday at 12pm and 3pm and Saturday and Sunday at 3pm only.

Please note, opening times of the Anning Rooms (for Members & Patrons) are 10:00am until 17:30pm.
