Harrods
Harrods, the world-famous luxury department store, has a storied history that spans over 170 years. Founded by Charles Henry Harrod in 1834 as a small grocery store in London's East End, Harrods gradually expanded its offerings and moved to its current location in Knightsbridge in 1849. Under the visionary leadership of subsequent owners, notably the flamboyant Richard Burbridge and the visionary Mohamed Al-Fayed, Harrods evolved into an iconic shopping destination.
Today, Harrods stands as a symbol of luxury, opulence, and grandeur. Its striking façade and iconic green and gold livery are instantly recognizable. The store boasts over 300 departments, offering a vast array of products, from high-end fashion and accessories to gourmet food, fine jewelry, and home goods.
Some of the most famous products and experiences at Harrods include the Food Halls, renowned for their exquisite culinary offerings, the Egyptian Escalator, an architectural marvel, and the Harrods Tea Rooms, where shoppers can indulge in afternoon tea.
Harrods' reputation for exclusivity and exceptional customer service has attracted visitors and discerning shoppers from around the world. It remains a symbol of British retailing excellence and continues to set the standard for luxury shopping experiences globally.
