Harrods is much more than just a shop, it is an inter-nationally famous institution and even the most reluctant shopper should venture into its cathedral-like portals. The store began trading here in 1849 as a small, family-run grocery shop and by 1911 the present magnificent terracotta building was complete. With a selling area of over 10ha and some 330 departments, it is Britain's biggest department store.
Among the highlights are the lavish and stylish Food Halls. The Meat Hall is gloriously decorated with 1902 tiles, while the centrepiece fresh-fish display is an extravaganza of the bounty of the sea.
