Marriage Freres, the Parisian tea house concept, is set to open its first UK site – three years after securing the location.

MCA first reported in July 2015 that the group, which operates a concession in Selfridges, had taken on a unit in King Street.

The brand will now open the store, which will have a retail counter, restaurant/tea-room and a tea museum, in July.

Mariage Freres currently operates 25 sites in France as well as units in Germany in Japan.

The brand was founded in Paris in 1854 by brothers Henri and Edouard Mariage
