Your summary for London neglected to point out that in the UK they
allow a low gluten proprietary wheat starch to be called gluten-free.
If you want to be truly GF you need to always specify that you are
gluten-free AND wheat-free.
In looking online for their menu I find that Fortnum and Mason has
five restaurants. Most likely the one being suggested is the St.
James Restaurant. It has several special diet afternoon tea menus. No
mention that the gluten-free menu is also wheat-free. I would
seriously question it. See:

Note that the afternoon tea will cost you either $60 or $66 per
person, depending on which tea you select. To me that is a lot of
money to spend on unneeded carbs.
All over London you can find Indian restaurants. All their curries
will be gluten and wheat free. Skip the rice to keep carbs down.
