Harrods is an incredible department store on five acres on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The store focuses on high-end goods but you can buy some reasonably priced souvenir items, including a Harrods' bear.
Online information in 2019 indicated there were 330 departments and 23 restaurants. It is the largest department store in Europe. Harrods employs over 5000 staff from 50 different countries to serve up to 300,000 visitors a day from all over the world.
The London store was founded by Charles Henry Harrod in 1849 as a grocery shop. The current store was built in 1905. In 2010, the store was purchased by Qatar Holding.
The central escalator is a favorite spot to visit and take photos.
Another favourite location is the food hall on the ground floor.
A Harrods bear is a popular souvenir--especially in a famous green Harrods bag.
Check out the lower level.
I noticed some impressive Lego sculptures too.
Notes
The "Egyptian Escalator" is a fabulous place to see. There are stairs, other escalators, and lifts (elevators).
They do have toilets for customers throughout the store.
