Harrods is undoubtedly Britains best individual store. And must be amongst the most famous throughout the world. The store itself was established in 1849, and is located in Knightsbridge in the big old city of London. Of course one of the most useful bits about the store is it's easily accessible from the Knightsbridge underground station.
It's only a stones throw away and the store also has a regular bus service. The actual high street store It has 7 floors and must have at least 300 plus different departments. The most popular department must be the The Food Hall, and must be considered one of Harrods finest assets.
Alot of the items are very pricey of course, but if you search around a bit you'll find some which isn't.

Harrods has 330 plus departments, and easily over 4,000 staff . From what a sales rep told me, they have been known to take £15 million in a single day. I think Harrods main success is from attracting tourists and visitors from around the world. They do this by selling almost everything the world produces. Like the above reviewer the the highlight is the splendid food hall upon the ground floor. Only recently the central escalator has architecture inspired by ancient Egyption art.
No doubt requested by the owner Mohamed Al Fayed. If you have young children they should not miss the the Toy Kingdom on the upper floors.

Harrods must be one of the greatest shopping experiences in the World. The store The store is over 150 years old and amazingly is the 3rd most visited tourist attraction in London. The store actually covers 1 million square feet to add to the above information. I enjoy the food hall the most, especially the 350 different types of cheeses Harrods sell. For fans of Princess Diana the owner Mohamed Al Fayed has placed a memorial dedicated to the late Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed on the lower ground floor. There are bargains during the sales period, I once picked up some Versace shirst for just £25 each. Account holders can also get a 10% discount on most items during the discount days that Harrods runs during the year.
