Harrods

(2 Ratings)

Monolithic all-in-one department store extravanza

Built in 1883 by a business established in 1824, Harrods provides a mammouth shopping adventure across more than 300 departments, with nearly every facet of human existence catered for in some product or consumer form. The meandering ground-floor food halls perhaps define the store as a tourist destination, as do the suitably high-profile summer and January sales. Between 1985 and 2010 the store was owned by Mohamed Al-Fayed (father of Dodi, who in 1997 died with Diana, Princess of Wales in the Paris car crash). Al-Fayed sold it for £1.5 billion. Now the domain of the state of Qatar, the store is not without its detractors, but the pull of the place is undeniable.

It's also Tacky. It's fun to walk through Harrod's and see the design of the building. The food halls are incredible. The tribute to Dodi Fayad and Princess Diana in the basement is interesting, too.
