Harrods department store is one of London's premier shopping experiences.
Probably the best and certainly the most well known department
store in the world, Harrods occupies a whole city block.
The stores motto is "omnia omnibus ubique" (everything
for everyone everywhere)
Harrods is one of the world's most famous department
stores, and was established in 1849 as a humble grocery store
employing two assistants.
Referred to as the "ultimate department store", it sells
everything, and if they don't have it, they will get it for you.
It offers everything from food to fashion, furniture to sportswear
plus 20 in-store restaurants serving every kind of cuisine imaginable
from pizza to sushi.
Services range from piano tuning to fitting saddles.
They even have their own bank and a mortuary!
The Food Halls are amazing in themselves, from fresh flowers,
vegetables, and an elaborate bakery, to an enormous dairy, meat
and fowl section.
Harrods has many departments, featuring museum-like rooms.
Must-see sights include the Food Halls, the Egyptian Hall and
the Pet Department.
Traditional British merchandise is available in abundance.
At night the store is illuminated by 11,500 light bulbs.
A trip to London wouldn't be complete without a visit to world-famous
Harrods, ranked as the third most popular destination in the city.
