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 ★★★★★ A Truly Memorable First Visit We had our very first visit to Harrods and it completely lived up to the reputation. From the moment we walked in, the whole experience felt special. The building itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful architecture and luxurious displays around every corner. The range of products is incredible. Whether you’re looking for designer fashion, watches, jewellery, beauty products, homeware, or gourmet food, there really is something for everyone. Even if you’re not planning to buy anything, it’s well worth visiting just to admire everything and soak up the atmosphere. The staff we spoke to were friendly, welcoming, and professional, making us feel comfortable as we explored the different departments. Every area was immaculately presented and exceptionally clean, and the attention to detail throughout the store was impressive. One of the highlights for us was simply wandering through the famous food halls—they were beautifully presented with an amazing selection of food from around the world. Even having our new passport holders hot stamped LV team were to happy and helpfull we even bought some new sunglasses 😎 Overall, our first trip to Harrods was an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our visit to London. We can absolutely see why it’s one of the world’s most famous department stores. We’ll certainly be returning on our next trip and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London. Thank you

5 Star Rating The perfect way to cap off a culturally rich afternoon at the Victoria and Albert Museum is with a sharp, glamorous turn into the world of luxury. Visiting Harrods right after meant going from London's art and design treasure to another kind of magnificent spectacle. It felt less like a standard shop and more like a luxurious, glittering theme park—a stunning building that’s an experience in itself. Over seven vast floors under the iconic green awnings, you’re surrounded by an unbelievable lineup of top brands from around the world, and we found the historic Food Halls absolutely impossible to resist, especially the cakes and chocolates on display. The building, a Grade II* listed Victorian landmark from 1905, houses roughly 300 departments, including a bank and a beauty salon. The Egyptian Hall, with its ancient carvings and pharaoh statues, creates a wonderfully exotic shopping atmosphere. We also loved hunting for exclusive souvenirs like the famous Harrods bears, teas, and beautifully packaged chocolates—perfect for taking a piece of that London glamour home. When it comes to a reality check, let's be honest: the prices are very, very high. It’s a place where the experience itself is the main attraction; window-shopping the opulent interiors is a perfectly valid way to enjoy it, but know that your wallet might feel the pinch. Also, the place is vast, and finding your way around can be a bit of a treasure hunt. After a day of admiring fine art, the V&A left us inspired, while Harrods satisfied a totally different desire: the pure thrill of indulgence. Whether you’re making a big purchase, grabbing a sweet treat, or simply gawking at the chandeliers, this iconic institution is an essential stop for anyone wanting to see the very heart of luxury in London. Has Peljun been dropping any hints about something they spotted in the Food Halls or one of the designer departments? If you're thinking of going back for a specific treat or purchase, let me know and I can help you track down more details before your next trip!

5 Star Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shopping at Harrods is always an experience in itself. With its vast selection of luxury brands spread across multiple floors, it can sometimes feel overwhelming and a little chaotic, especially during busy periods. Finding the right boutiques, navigating the different departments, and coordinating purchases can easily turn into a time-consuming process. This visit, however, was completely different thanks to our exceptional personal shopper, Elliot. From the moment we arrived, Elliot transformed what could have been a complicated shopping trip into a seamless and enjoyable experience. His knowledge of the store, brands, collections, and product availability was truly impressive. Rather than wandering from floor to floor trying to locate items, Elliot expertly guided us through the store, arranged appointments where needed, and ensured that everything was ready and waiting for us. His recommendations were thoughtful and tailored to our preferences without ever feeling pushy. He understood exactly what we were looking for and introduced us to brands and pieces we may otherwise have missed. What stood out most was how effortless he made the entire process. Every detail was handled professionally, from navigating the different luxury houses to coordinating purchases and ensuring a smooth checkout experience. The usual stress and confusion that can sometimes come with shopping at such a large department store simply disappeared. Harrods remains one of the world’s most iconic luxury shopping destinations, but the outstanding service provided by Elliot elevated the experience to another level entirely. His professionalism, efficiency, warmth, and attention to detail made our day both productive and enjoyable. If you’re planning a serious shopping trip at Harrods, I highly recommend booking a session with Elliot—it makes all the difference. An exceptional luxury shopping experience from start to finish.
