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.

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.

Harrods is Harrods. Doesn't need any details. Just go there and have a look. There's everything. Of course it's expensive. It's Harrods 😆 I found Italian chocolates I used to enjoy when I was a kid back in the 1980s. Amazing! Nice find. Will always go back for more 😜

Vastly improved selection, merchandising, layout and styling, from the over the top chaos of the nineties store. Best feature, the food halls and dining options. Worst, poor signage in maze like floors with limited air conditioning (presumably an issue with the historic building). An entertaining visit, and do not forget the book store in the basement

Harrods is a must-visit for anyone in London. It's a truly iconic department store, and it's unlike anything else I've ever seen. The selection of goods is incredible, and the staff are incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend visiting, even if you're not planning on buying anything.
Here are some of the things I loved about Harrods:

There's something for everyone, from clothes and jewelry to food and homeware.
The staff are incredibly helpful.
They're always happy to go the extra mile to help you find what you're looking for.
The store is beautifully decorated. It's a real treat to just wander around and take in the sights.

One word: beautiful. A must-see spot in London. The chocolate and food area were my personal favourite, but there's also designer clothing/accessories, jewellery, Perfumes, etc.
