London Calling :- Harrods
September 12th, 2008 by Nick Tay
Harrods is a department store located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, London, England. The Harrods brand also applies to other enterprises undertaken by the Harrods group of companies including Harrods Bank, Harrods Estates, Harrods Aviation and Air Harrods.
The store occupies a 4.5-acre (18,000 m2) site and has over one million square feet of selling space in over 330 departments. This makes Harrods the largest department store in the world (the UK’s second-biggest store, Oxford Street’s Selfridges is a little over half the size with 540,000-square-foot (50,000 m2)[1] of selling space).
The Harrods motto is Omnia Omnibus Ubique —- All Things for All People, Everywhere. Several of its departments, including the seasonal Christmas department and the Food Hall are world famous. The nearest tube station to the store is Knightsbridge. An entrance to the station is positioned adjacent to the store.
No trip to London would be complete without visiting this famous Landmark of Retail Therapy. We took the Underground to Knightsbridge and within minutes came out and saw the famous lights shining brightly. The place was very posh. Diamonds galore, famous brands of designer clothings. You name it they have it. There are also furniture and sporting items and I believe there even have a theater doing musical numbers. I saw a memorial for Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed in the lobby as well. You gotta come here if you come to London, though I doubt you should actually buy anything as prices are extremely high, even for England.
