Harrods

Just a short walk away from the museums on Museum row is the world famous Harrods department store.

The store was opened in 1834 by a 25 year old entrepreneur and comprises of a million square feet of floor space!

The Harrods motto is ‘OMNIA OMNIBUS UBIQUE’, meaning ‘everything for everyone everywhere’ and there are over 330 departments throughout the store selling everything ranging from clothing to home appliances to stationery!

However, I have to say that my favourite departments are definitely the food halls!

For nearly 100 years; from 1917 to 2014, Harrods had a pet department.

Below is a photo of the Egyptian Escalators. Did you know that up to 330,000 visitors might visit the store on a single day?!
