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.

Harrods Reviews

Rated 4.4 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating If there is a luxury good shop, you want to buy from this place where to buy it. There are so many shops and there’s a restaurant. All the workers seem very kind. I feel like for some luxury shops you get those really rude people, but I feel like most of them were very happy just to help. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, but there’s so many beautiful storefronts. At the basement of the store, there is a gift shop so you can find many trinkets specifically for this superstore.

4 Star Rating A very elegant shopping destination where you can find products from famous brands. The food section is quite diverse and everything tastes great. The only downside is that there isn’t really a comfortable seating area to enjoy your food. Other than that, it’s definitely worth a visit!

5 Star Rating A must-visit store and an experience in itself! This world-famous department store is just as stunning inside as you would expect. It’s always buzzing with tourists and curious visitors eager to see what’s inside. While it sells an impressive range of luxury goods at eye-watering prices, there are also plenty of items that are more affordable. It’s a fantastic place to pick up Christmas treats like chocolates and biscuits in beautiful gift packaging. Yes, even those are slightly pricier than other shops, but they feel special and make wonderful gifts. Because it’s always busy, browsing isn’t exactly a calm experience, and finding assistance can sometimes be tricky since the staff are often helping other customers. The store is huge, selling everything from clothing, watches, and perfumes to homeware. There’s also a food hall, several restaurants and cafés, and even a gift shop offering much more than just tourist souvenirs. There are plenty of self-service checkouts as well as staffed tills if you prefer. Even if you don’t plan to buy anything, this store is worth visiting just to take it all in – it’s truly an iconic London experience.

4 Star Rating My friend kept telling me I had to visit Harrods while in London, and I’m glad I did. The place is massive and filled with every high-end luxury brand imaginable. Instead of splurging on designer items, I picked up an assortment of sweets and a reusable shopping bag for friends back home. The food hall was a highlight—offering a wide variety of cured meats, cheeses, teas, wines, and prepared foods. Honestly, it was more fun than shopping for a luxury purse!

4 Star Rating Visited it only because it is too iconic to miss haha... But really... too packed with likeminded people, who cannot afford to buy hahaha.... Why i do not give 5 stars, is becasue the layout of the place prevents you from finding the exit and not even one available toilet. GRRRRRRR. Signages lead to nowhere.
