Such a beautiful place. There are multiple floors of designer shopping, cafes, a food hall, and some regular shopping. If you are in London you have to make a stop and even get yourself a souvenir. While visiting we decided to get lunch on the first floor. It was a little expensive but worth the experience. If you can't make up your mind on a souvenir by the way, there is one more location in Heathrow :)
Harrod's is a London icon and a premier luxury department store and it is a shoppers dream. This store is massive and its known for the fabulous food hall, extravagant luxury goods, and it attracts roughly 15 million visitors per year. Harrod's also features a afternoon tea in The Georgian and it costs about $96.00 US dollars per person. We were here many years ago but I still remember the experience. It was very busy inside and we walked around for a couple of hours just looking and taking in all the beautiful products that were for sale. The architecture of the store is a stunning. We bought some souvenirs, and I also bought a purse and wallet while visiting. We loved taking pics with the life size Harrod bears. I had never been in such a majestic and exquisite store seeing so many luxury items. This store is definitely geared towards the elite and uber rich but we still managed to have a really good time. Service was ample although most of the employees we encountered were very busy hustling to locate items for anxious shoppers. A must visit while you are in London, just don't drop all your cash here.
You feel like you are in a different world when you step inside Harrods. A luxury mall with a great food hall, a Prada cafe, they make their own chocolate in the chocolate hall, and every name brand you can think. Our first stop was the dry bar. We have plenty of these back in the states but I had never been to one before, so It's pretty exciting for to me to say that my first dry bar experience was in Harrods in London! I tend to stay away from blow-dry places because not everyone can blow-dry thick curly hair. Kezia was the stylist and she was great!! She was so funny, paid close attention to detail, and this was one of the best blow-drys I have ever gotten! Next, we stopped at Burberry. She was wonderful, poise, and so knowledgeable about the brand. My husband loves his wallet. We then stopped at Louis Vuitton for a perfume. No one attended to us and it felt like they were judging us based on how we looked. Five employees walked right past us and not a single one acknowledged us. Finally someone did and when we asked her what the notes in the perfume were she googled it on her phone. Our shopping day wasn't complete without buying some sweets from the chocolate hall. Every type of chocolate you can think of is sold here and delicious taste!
This is a very cool department store with many different brands, a restaurant, a cafe, and a candy hall! They even sell the Swiss chocolates from Laderach!
Tip: If you visit in December, check out the Christmas merchandise on the ground floor. I spent a good day at Harrods. I was here in December 2013. It was a treat seeing the Christmas section. It felt like a bonus! This store is London's largest department store with eight floors of shopping bliss. It has been a challenge trying to remember what was on each floor back then. Here goes nothing: Sixth floor: Perfume Fifth floor: Hair and beauty salon, and technology Fourth floor: Children's clothing, toys, denim Third floor: Home decor, furniture, bedding, and giftware Second floor: Menswear, men's shoes, and sports First floor: Womenswear, jewellery, women's shoes, and boutiques Ground floor: Foodhall, beauty, and watches Lower ground floor: Gourmet foods and wine I visited all eight floors. I spent the least amount of time on the sixth and second floors. I dabbled briefly in the technology section on the fifth floor. Most of time time was spent on the other floors. The Christmas merchandise was on the ground floor. It was amazing seeing chocolates, toys, candy, Santa, and more. The foodhall was incredible. The baked goods, sandwiches, mini cakes and chocolates looked in pristine condition behind the glass displays. I had lunch at the Montreux Jazz Cafe. I remember how cool the menu was. It was shaped as a record jutting out of an album sleeve. The music was chill and relaxed. I've been trying to figure out what I ate. I remember enjoying the shopping break. Sadly, this cafe no longer exists. It was created in 2012 in time for the London Olympics. The cafe endured for a few years before it closed for good. Prices are expensive at this high-end store. However, there was a sale on tea. I brought back roughly six boxes of tea. As a tea drinker, the tea varieties at this store were divine. I'd come back just for the tea. I'd also do afternoon tea here. I had no idea that I could indulge until after I had left London. Ugh! There are elevators and escalators to get you between floors. I remember the washrooms being close to the elevators, but I don't recall which floor. The women's washroom on whatever floor I was on was exceptionally fancy. There was a powder room that was separate from the washroom stalls and sink area. There were statues of Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed dancing by the elevators on the lower ground floor when I was there. I just learned that this memorial was removed in 2018. The statues were returned to the Al-Fayed family. I recommend visiting this department store. It is indeed a ton of luxury items under one roof. I enjoyed it as a tourist and a shopper of fine tea.

Harrods is every bit as chic and iconic as you'd expect. When I visited, they were in the process of getting ready for the holidays, and even during mid-setup, it was already beautiful. I can only imagine how magical it must look once everything is fully decorated! The store itself is massive and you could easily spend hours wandering through the different departments. Everything feels thoughtfully laid out despite the scale. The sales associates were friendly, approachable, and helpful without being pushy, which added to the experience. Harrods is a must visit while you're in London, whether you're there for shopping, dining in, or just soaking up the atmosphere.
Harrods is a well-known luxury department store in London, so my husband and I wanted to check it out. We went to Harrods on April 11, our third day (second full day) in London. The store is huge (in fact, we got lost trying to find a restaurant, which was a bit frustrating), that Harrods is almost a tourist attraction in its own right! We didn't have anything we needed to buy (and prices were expensive), but we splurged on a nice charcuterie board for £35 and various gifts for people, including a tea towel with the Westie dog embroidered on it for Nancy H. We briefly went back a couple of days later, on April 13, to buy lunch from the food hall, and to use the bathroom. The bathrooms in Harrods are quite nice, and a good place to go if you have to poop! [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; London, England; Pee for free!]
So I been hearing of this famous store for a long time so I finally got to visit and walk through it and let me say I honestly was not impressed and if anything I wanted to walk fast and get out of very busy way There's an entire room of perfumes and colognes and omg it was STRONG. And it hits you hard and I was getting a headache within a min of being in there I don't know how they do it the employees lol But yeah it's basically a super high end shopping center filled with high end brands ...basically indoor mall meets department store and honestly I can't afford most of that but even if I could I probably would just go to a stand alone store vs this Oh... and apparently forget having to go to the bathroom my family were sent on a goose chase ended up outside ultimately I mean look if you love being around super expensive stuff and don't mind strong scents this is for you
Home to all the luxury/designer brands in all aspects of fashion. Anything from sunglasses, bags, makeup and even belts! Keep in mind things are expensive (even in the gift shop on lower ground level) but look at where you are. If you are new here ride those central escalators and fancy a look around. The representative was extremely nice when my partner was purchasing a suit however everyone else we came across was crusty.
Harrods a very high end department store in London. With wide range of products. Service was exemplary. Prices of their own products are reasonable and of good quality. They have all kinds of designer brands. I am very impressed with their store brand items especially the designs. Definitely a must go to as a tourist even if you don't have any intention of buying at all.
What an exquisite store and shopping experience! It's massive, so it's very easy to get lost. It has everything from clothes to restaurants to housewares and a gift shop. While it's geared for the uber rich, no one makes you feel like you cannot be there and shop. It was lovely. I bought several items from the gift shop that had friendly price points.
One of the most famous department stores in the world, you have to visit at least once I usually stop by every time I'm in London, now I don't usually buy much except the confectionery as this store is really for the wealthy uber rich! If you're into designer anything this is your place! Me - I just love the food hall!! Fancy chocolates,biscuits, all kinds of goodies Christmas time is usually beautifully decorated here and lots of lovely festive gift - but be warned super crowds, hard to get around the store it's jam packed full of people - not enjoyable at all!
It's honestly rare when I give a place two stars, but the amount of anxiety you feel coming into this store is unbelievable. I don't even know where to begin. Walking in you feel poor (even if you can afford to shop here, the employees want to make sure you feel like you can't.) You get lost. There's hundreds and hundreds of people. You feel overwhelmed. Selection? I'd say there's TOO MUCH selection. I couldn't even begin. If you want to shop here you'll need a time machine to add time to your day. I really wanted to go to the food hall, see photos below. The food was out of this world. I never thought I would see a smoked salmon cake?! That was really cool. But also expensive. I ended up just grabbing a salad and taking it to my hotel to enjoy.
Harrod's was bustling already with Christmas shoppers. The windows are decorated for the holiday and there is a feeling for the holiday. Inside, there is so much to see and do. From the fashions, to perfumes to gifts to the food area, this is a place you could spend the whole day at and end up eating at one of their many restaurants. We spent quite a long time in their food section. Everything was neatly displayed and the selection is beyond anything you could imagine. From meats, cheeses, coffee, teas, chocolate, flowers-its all there. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and even with the massive crowds, still are courteous. As I got lost getting back to my husband after a bathroom break, I was pleasantly surprised when an employee took the time to help me figure out where I was supposed to go. He appeared to be more than a sales clerk as he was dressed very well and the other employees said hello to him, everywhere he went. It is what it is, it is crowded, It is a high ended department store. If you are coming here looking for a Walmart, you have unrealistic expectations. It has door attendants dressed in their iconic green, high end fashions, incredible food that you can even imagine. You may feel uncomfortable because again, it is not Walmart. Europeans have a class to them that unfortunately we lack. You will not see anyone in their Pj's shopping. Harrods is more than a department store-it is an experience. read more
Imagine a place that is twice the size of the largest Macy's/Nordstrom's and twice to thrice the price! That's Harrods! Harrods has pretty much everything. Toys, clothes, food, more food, and even the kitchen sink. It's an awesome store without a doubt, just very pricey. I saw a silverware set that cost more than $7000 grand. Yup, no joke. Still, they offer so much and the food here? Forget about it. It's amazing. You can literally spend the entire day here and not even get through half the store. That's how truly insane this place is. read more

Harrods is a must stop when in London. Whether you are intending to spoil yourself; or just do some insane window shopping, you must stop here. I think a lot of times people get scared away by the glitz and glamour, but Harrods does also offer relatively affordable items as well. For example, if you are looking for unique and delicious treats to take back home from your trip, I would suggest coming here! Harrods has a tremendous candy and treat section and they always have items on clearance, but their chocolates and unique items are just to die for. If you are a bit tea fan, I also recommend spending some time here as they have similar items to what you will find at Heathrow, but a bit cheaper. Their Fortnum Mason selection of chocolates in beautiful boxes make for great gifts! If you know Heathrow much, you know you can get these last minute gifts at the airport. But why do that when you can experience Harrods and get some samples! I also love the " food court" here. To be clear, it's not anything like a " food court" in the states. It's very upscale, but you gets some amazing selections. If you are feeling like you need a break from all the shopping, you can stop and get some caviar and bubbles. Or if you're wanting something a bit more filling, they have a great steak bar where you can get a delicious steak or a burger. If you are a BIG shopping fan like me, I would highly suggest giving yourself ample time to come here and really wander through all the floors. I have been here right at opening time, middle of the day, right before close, and I always feel like I needed more time. Opening time is probably best so you can work up an appetite. If you come during the holidays they have the cutest setup with lights so it's a great place for pictures. Their purse and show sections are my two faves. They have such unique designs from well known high end designers, but items that you may not have ever seen. If you want to really treat yourself, this is the right place to drop $$$ on unique items. read more

This is a must see for anyone traveling to London. I would suggest to have a plan on where to go. We were overwhelmed by the number of options...in the end, we made a purchase from Kylie Cosmetics and then ended up in the rooftop bar for drinks. I would highly recommend the Queen's Bandit and tgw read more
When the hotel concierge suggested taking a walk to Harrods, my husband and I were initially a bit confused. Why would we want to go to a department store as something to do? When we entered Harrods, we were blown away by the size and selection. This place makes Macy's in NY look like a corner boutique store in size. This place is huge and has food courts, a toy store, an electronics store, and about a hundred other departments that we can't even remember. You could easily spend a couple of hours in here regardless of what you want to buy or just look at. read more
We decided to head over to Harrods for dinner on our first night in London, which is a super high end department store located in Knightbridge and we were blown away by their food court, which included a Cavier bar, raw seafood and of course a sushi bar. So we ordered three sushi rolls which were the salmon roll, spicy tuna roll and Harrods roll special. The salmon and spicy tuna roll were very fresh and delicious while it was not too spicy. The Harrods roll special was the most unique and it included snow crab, avocado, topped with scallops and both black and orange cavier. It was the most delicate sushi I have ever had, if it were for the price tag we would of ordered one more. read more
Nice upscale café in the center of Harrods (3rd floor). Ambiance: I enjoyed the ambiance here. As you would expect being in Harrods, the establishment feels like a very upscale casual café. Nicely lit with beautiful interior decor. Service: while the wait staff all wears suits whilst they serve you, the service here was slow. We only saw our waiter a handful of times throughout our meal. Food: the food was okay. I'd expect more from Harrods. Just average sandwiches. read more

selling rotten chocolates and no refund because they was not returned in 14 days but sold with a 3 month sell by date on receiving sent me a box of chocolates paid £100 i left them stored away i opened them 40 days later. the chocolates was white off color and looked mouldy. the sell by date was only 3 months with 22 days left ?? this is the reply i got from Harrods after sending countless pictures. im disgusted. Dear Darren, Thank you very much for attaching photographs. I have taken a further look into this for you and I'm very sorry to hear you are disappointed with the product received. Perishable goods (including food and beverages, and some hampers) cannot be returned as stated within our terms and conditions and as the chocolates are well within the date upon the time of purchase/collection and no point of contact being made to ourselves sooner, I regret to inform you that we are unable to help assist any further with the matter this time around. Due to the dissatisfaction, I am willing to provide you 10% off this order to resolve this matter. When a customer tells us of a poor experience, we focus on taking action to address the problem and stop it from happening again. As part of this process we ensure the feedback we receive is passed on to the appropriate team. This allows us to make improvements in the service we offer. Kind regards, Kayleigh absolute shocking they even try to manipulate that they sold them to me well within there Selby date ??? 3 months from pic up ?? stay away from Harrods there customer care does not exist. im now going to return the chocolates to Kingsbridge its not going to be pleasant day for Harrods. this is shocking behaviour read more
Historic, unique, and beautiful. Definitely come check this place out....you won't regret it. The decor inside, especially in some of the food courts is simply amazing. Shopping itself is good but nothing beats all the places to eat on the first floor. read more
This place is mind blowing. I've never seen a store with so much detail like Harrods in my life! The presentation of specialty foods & presentation were perfect and some the prices shocking. We purchased items like teas and candies that were for family souvenirs and I must say they were tasty and uniquely different. You can easily spend hours here at this mega department store and there was so much we didn't cover since we came later in the day after visiting several museums. If you are or aren't into shopping this place is definitely worth stopping by and checking out! read more
Harrods is one of the most known shopping centers in the world. It's ultra high-end. Whether or not it's in your budget to buy something I'd highly recommend paying Harrods a visit. Even if you're not into shopping, you should still go to Harrods because it has become a landmark for London. Harrods is packed with tourists so be ready for that. They have these Egyptian escalators that are quite famous. They also have a tribute to Princess Diana located inside. read more
I made the mistake of visiting this place during the "there is only one sale" time. It was packed on every floor with barely any room to move. The only sections that were not full of people were the fine alcohol and fine jewelry sections. Every food venue was packed to ridiculousness with no organized queue. The restrooms had lines coming out of the door. That aside, this is basically a tourist riddled Rodeo/ South Coast Plaza crammed into one building. I have no idea what the big deal is, as each section of designer has less inventory that what is available in their full stores. One thing that really made me think twice was the sheer volume of house-branded merchandise lying around. It reminded me of Kirkland and Costco. They get a bonus star for having just about every high end brand imaginable, even if they only carried a few items. Conveniently located next to the Knightsbridge tube exit. read more
Ridiculously over the top in every way, but I feel like it's a must see once in your life while in London. It takes up a whole long city block and is so huge inside too with five floors and a massive food hall. And it's crazy busy to match it. Once you go inside, the security tells you to flip your backpack around while in the store if you're wearing one. Hubby said the bathroom was very fancy and even had a bathroom attendant. Never seen any department store back in the states or in Paris have that! I received no attention while browsing around the contemporary clothing or at the YSL handbags, but whatever. The woman working behind the Creed counter and a woman in the food gift section were very nice. As well as a couple gentleman in the fine men's watches section. We ended up buying the loose leaf tea that the woman gave us samples of. The food in the food hall all looked so good. Money ain't no thing here, with rare high end watches, 5 foot plus Harrod's stuffed bears costing around £2,500, exquisite bottles of liquor and Dom Perignon in the basement for sale amongst even more restaurant choices. There's even a floor dedicated to high end woman's fashion houses in which they make their own little boutiques out of them. So this is how the 1% in Great Britain shop? I would love me some of that. Next visit to London, I'll make sure to come hungry so I can try out their food hall offerings. Go check out Harrod's once in your life. You'll definitely get a little hysterical on how over the top it really is. read more

The fudge here is to die for and the toy store (and any other store for that matter) is breathtaking. An entire experience in luxury and premier shopping. You can't leave London without paying this place a visit. As well as the other boutiques and shops on Bond St. read more

Opulence. Give your eyes a treat! You haven't been to London if you haven't been here. Check out the Food Hall for a wide selection of treats. Also visit the gift shop on 2 for store-branded items that are kind to your wallet. Pleasant staff and environment. read more

Goodness gracious. Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City are both behemoths, jammed full of people and stuff to buy. Harrod's, however, takes things to a level that is simply unimaginable. I could write on and on describing the place, but let's just say it is huge and every single luxury good from every single luxury designer in every size, shape and color. There is also the famous food hall, which has every kind of food imaginable. Think of it as a sort of old school food court, but without the nasty fast food. I went in there to buy a shirt from a brand that is really hard to find in the US. I found something I liked, tried it on, received good customer service, bought the shirt and left. I know it is totally a tourist trap, but as mentioned above, they have everything, so if you can't find it elsewhere, try Harrod's - they probably have it. read more

We didn't have a whole lot of time here, since by the time we made our way to Harrods, they were about half an hour away from closing. And, to be honest, once my husband saw the huge selection of meat pies on sale within the food hall, I had no chance of seeing any other part of the store. So, this review is for the food hall alone. I did enjoy browsing the counters, and seeing all the different tasty treats - some that made sense to my American mind, some that made me wonder. There were quite a few items that made me pause, as well, and consider for my meal that night. In the end, after a few laps around the perimeter of the store, we decided to snag a few different things to sample and then head out into the night to find a place to enjoy our snacks. I ended up with a cup of the steak and ale soup, which was served with two slices of bread. The hubs went all out with a black pudding and sausage roll and a steak and stilton pie. We supplemented these items with a couple of (very overpriced) drinks, and then promptly left the store. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, so to find that the food was filling and tasty was a nice bonus. My husband loved both of his items, but wasn't able to finish them - I guess it was flaky, pastry overload. I had no issues finishing the cup of soup - it was rather smaller than his two items. My only gripe was that the dumplings within the cup (of which there were only two) were kind of chewy, in the overcooked-and-not-so-yummy kind of way. Not terrible for our first meal in London, after all. read more
Harrods itself it a once in a lifetime place. The restaurants they offer are classy and nice. I really enjoyed my stop there and eating yummy pizza. It is on the expensive side, but how often do you get to go to Harrods in London! Worth the trip :)))) read more

It's a big department store. We saw people waiting in the line to get in. We joined them. Everything in Harrods has good quality, but too pricey. After this store, I felt shopping in US is much affordable. We went to every floor, from LG, G, 1, 2, 3, 4 to 5. A small short sleeve t-shirt for 3-year-old is £49.95 and an antique desk is over £76,000. This place is not for me. My price range is more like Macy's. read more

Luxurious deco. Love the bag area, jewelry section and children's wear though. As far as women s clothing, New York beats London! So glad! One really really good thing about buying at Harrods is you can get your VAT on spot rather than going to custom which save you tons of time. read more

Walking into Harrods was like walking onto a British film set. Yes, it is one of those places I had seen in countless of films, and visiting was like a dream come true. Harrods is a beautiful and glamorous department store located in Knightsbridge, which opened in 1849, and is one of the most famous attractions in the world today. The store spans over seven floors and has over 330 different departments, making it the biggest department store in Europe! Harrods stocks everything, and I mean everything. Designer clothing, perfume, accessories, shoes, makeup, children's clothing and toys, technology, homewares, food (my favourite section), beautiful teas, decadent chocolates, wine, food hampers, and last but not least, souvenirs... but not the souvenirs you would buy from a street-side stand. They sell Harrods bags, cups and mugs, travel accessories, jewellery, soft toys, stationery... and many more things. If you are looking for a mug or a bag with a map of London on it, then the Harrods gift shop is your place! I love coming here to purchase gifts for family and friends. Tip: Don't leave without checking out Harrods' Food Hall, where all your wildest food fantasies will come true... read more about it here: https://georgieats.com/2015/08/31/harrods-food-hall-london/ read more

This is definitely a must visit if you're in London. It's basically a super luxury department store with absolutely everything! From high end clothing, to jewellery, accessories, handbags, food, desserts, baked goods, etc! Since I'm a foodie, I decided to check out most of the food sections. The variety of foods they have is equivalent to a grocery store, except the foods they have seem higher quality and are definitely at a higher price. They had really interesting foods, desserts, etc that you don't really see elsewhere and that would totally match a luxury department store like gold colored cupcakes! They even have pre-made food that you can take away. One thing I did order was a scotch egg, which was the first scotch egg that I've had - it was a bit too salty for my tasting but was definitely rich and had a great soft egg in the center! Even though I'm not into shopping nor into luxury brands, I thought it was interesting to stop by and visit and see what it's like! You don't have to buy anything either, but just walking around, looking at their offerings and people watching made this a worth it experience. read more
