Harrods
Harrods is arguably one of the worlds most renowned department stores
A London institution, Harrods first opened at it's present location with three employees. It grew rapidly, employing a staff of 100 by 1880. After a disastrous fire destroyed the store in 1883, the present building was built.
Today Harrods features over 330 departments in over 1,000,000 square feet of retail space making it the largest individual store in the United Kingdom. Most of the merchandise is upscale and designer with corresponding prices - not a store for penny pinching.
Harrods aims to provide all shoppers with a pleasant experience and does have a dress code to try and facilitate this. Essentially this means no entry without appropriate footwear and clean clothing. Clothing with offensive slogans or images is not allowed.
There is an amazing choice of restaurants within the store - 26 in total ranging from quick snacks and deserts all the way up to fine dining.

out of 5 Absolutely beautiful building. It's definitely the place to go for all high-end shopping. The restaurants are all really great. We specifically went for afternoon tea and it didn't not disappoint. The food was excellent and the staff was lovely.

Harrods is so famous--and so beautiful, especially when it is all lit up at night.
It is lovely to walk through though most of the designer goods look a like all the designer goods I have seen in shops elsewhere.
They do have a fabulous take-away food section with freshly prepared food.
We stayed nearby and brought home some salmon, vegetable salads and they were all great.

Most branded luxurious iconic shopping mall. There are most famous fashion stores, restaurants, confectionery, chocolate section, luxurious perfume section and accessories section. On top of that there is a sales section of clothing. Everyone is really polite and expert on her/his duties. It's an unique experience and you have to definitely visit that place.

Busy with customers, but inside the store is beautiful, there are lots of signposts (only in English) directing you and telling you what is on each floor and the staff there are all super friendly and all smiling. The free samples in the food hall were a welcome treat! Being such a famous store, maybe some more signage for speakers of other languages would be beneficial, or QR codes on walls / elevators for customers to scan and they can have all their requirements and questions answered in their mother tongues. I love this store. The public facilities are always spotless and whilst the store is notably expensive, you certainly have quality!

You could actually spend a whole day in Harrods. It's an amazing building with beautiful architecture.
There are some actually some really good restaurants and eateries.
Afternoon tea here is very fun.
The food hall is great and actually reasonably priced. You can get some really good 'too go' food here.
As an Englishman and someone who comes up to London regularly, this actually an area of London I have never really explored. It's a fascinating place to people watch!
