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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Iconic, overwhelming, and worth seeing once *Harrods* isn’t just a department store. It’s a London landmark. 7 floors, 300+ departments, and more chandeliers than you can count. *What I loved:* - *The experience* - Walking in under the green awning feels like an event. The Egyptian escalator, the food halls, and the Christmas windows are pure theatre. - *Food Halls* - This is the best part. Seafood, patisserie, cheese, chocolate. You can get a £50 hamper or just a £4 macaron. The oysters and sushi counter are great for lunch. - *Shopping* - Everything from Burberry and Gucci to toys, homeware, and the famous Harrods tote bag. Even if you don’t buy, it’s fun to browse. - *Service* - Staff are super helpful and used to tourists. Personal shoppers are available if you want them. *Heads up:* It’s busy. Like, _really_ busy, especially weekends and during tourist season. Prices are high — this is luxury. Bag checks at the entrance and there’s a dress code: no beachwear, no shorts for men in some areas. *Overall: 4.5/5* Go for the spectacle, the food halls, and to say you’ve been. Don’t go expecting a quick shop. *Pro tip*: Go on a weekday morning right when it opens. Hit the Food Halls first, grab a coffee, then wander up. And yes, buy the green Harrods bag — it’s basically a London souvenir.

4 Star Rating My first visit has been last april, but i only made it to the food court as we needed some food from there, but i will definitely be discovering more next time. The center is very pretty and with a lot of employees to help you around. We also loved their items check-in area which is spacious and very professional. My only complaint is that the food court needs seating.

5 Star Rating Harrods is a must visit when in London. This iconic stores offers a high end shopping experience in a truely beautiful setting. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Allocate enough time if you want to browse through all the departments. There is lots to see. From furniture to clothes, bags, jewellery and much more. The food hall and the gift shop are really lovely to visit. There is also a nice bar/restaurant on the 5th floor. Very enjoyable.

5 Star Rating Visited Harrods, where luxury meets surrealism and window shopping becomes an extreme sport. 😎🛍️ Every high-end brand under one roof… and my wallet quietly asked me to leave! 😂✨I felt in love with bookstore which you may find exclusive collection books 📚 I may not be a fashion addict, but I absolutely fell in love with the bookstore and its exclusive collection of books. 📚❤️ Often overlooked in the world of luxury, this little gem deserves some well-earned credit! 🇬🇧✨

5 Star Rating OK, if you’re in London, the food hall is not to miss! The food is incredible often at lower prices than local pubs and higher quality. You won’t regret it! There’s so many things to choose from and there’s something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the cheese counter!
