![Harrods at Dusk](http://cdn.tourbytransit.com/london/images/562x499px-Harrods%20at%20Dusk.jpg)
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.

Wow! Just …. Wow!! My only regret is that I can’t shop here during the Christmas holidays. It must be magical. This place reminds me of movies like Elf and It’s a wonderful life! Those gigantic old department stores from yesteryear. A shoppers paradise. But… NOT cheap!!
My favorite part is the food, chocolate and bakery shops. Just awesome!!!!

Outlandish, center of the universe department store with the best food hall on Earth. Scour the bookstore for interesting cheapish reads. Grab something to eat in its many cafes and the food court is legendary. The pizza restaurant is excellent. Browsing the spirits, wine and cognac departments are for great fun although good luck affording most everything.

A nice shopping experience. Can get very busy at times, especially with tourists during peak seasons but nothing unusual. You can find practically anything here from most designer brands and you should definitely try Harrod’s own branded products that sometimes surpasses the quality of other major brands. Staff are great too. Just be polite and understanding with them as they have to deal with a constant flood of guests.

It’s absolutely huger than what I expected and if you want to take a full look on in you might want a full day or two! Its 7 floors and has everything you expect from luxury jewelry to home stores and gifts shop and too many things more, but most importantly if you want to buy stuff expect to spend from 50£-1000£+ I got some chocolate souvenirs for my family back home and yes after I was done with the whole shop I needed to take a break after because my legs were so tired, anyways it’s a must if you visit london!

Just too snob for my liking. Prices are through the roof but I suppose that is part of the it all to attract the 'better' kind of people? If you end up here and are bored waiting in others...go observe the taxi line. Always fun to see Englishmen lose temper over people cutting in line :D
