Fodor's Review:

This Knightsbridge institution is an encyclopedia of luxury brands, with more than 300 departments and 20 restaurants spread over 1 million square feet. If you approach Harrods as a tourist attraction rather than a fashion store, you won't be disappointed: focus on the spectacular food halls, the huge ground-floor perfumery, the marble-clad accessory rooms, and the theme park-like EgyptianRoom—at the bottom of the nearby escalator there's a tacky shrine to Diana and Dodi. Be prepared to brave the crowds (avoid visiting on Saturday if you can), and be prepared to pay if you want to use the bathroom on some floors.

  • Open: Mon.-Sat. 10-8, Sun. noon-6 (sometimes later during sales times)
  • Tube: Knightsbridge
