Harrods
When you’re visiting London, Harrods department store is always on the top 10 list of things to see. There’s never been a shopping experience quite like Harrods, and there never will be because despite over 150 years of business success there has never been another branch opened anywhere in the world. Harrods stretches across 4.5 acres in central London with seven floors spanning over 1 million square feet of space that is filled with the most extravagant and lavish pieces in retail. Over 15 million customers step inside for the experience each year. Not only does Harrods offer lifestyle apparel collections for men and women of all ages and backgrounds, it contains a luxurious retail heaven. From furniture and décor, to electronics and children toys, Harrods delivers with luxury. The store even has its own bank and safe depository. For services, not only are London real estate agents available, but opticians, travel agents and pet groomers. Spending a day is easily capable with its 27 gourmet restaurants and cafes available for an energy boost. It’s stunning how the store evolved since its founding in 1849 by Charles Henry Harrod who started out with only two assistants primarily selling tea and groceries. ▼
