Natural History Museum celebrates nature with the launch of a new afternoon tea

The Natural History Museum is adding a tasty twist to its lineup with the introduction of a brand-new afternoon tea experience. Aptly named "Inspired by Nature," the menu showcases an array of sweet and savoury delights expertly crafted by Benugo pastry chefs. Embracing the best of British seasonal produce, it pays homage to local farmers and growers while drawing inspiration from the wonders of the natural world.
