Picture your average shopping mall. Multiply its size by ten. You get the giant department store Harrod's. If you live in London, you know what Harrod's is, but if you don't and are visiting, I encourage you to take a visit. The interior is Egyptian-influenced, and is packed top to bottom with world-famous designers and perfume shops, which are not exactly my idea of fun, but it was really fun to see the quirky interior of this giant department store. It is also relatively old, and dates back to the Victorian Era, which is clearly visible in its architecture.
Well, what exactly do you do here? Explore the wide range of over-the-top designer stores. Take the escalator all the way to the top and take a picture of the Egyptian sphinx. And if you're in the mood for an afternoon tea, visit The Georgian on the fourth floor, which also serves a lunch buffet. Time to spend: 30 minutes to 2 hours Bottom Line: Lots of designer stores and quirky Egyptian architecture packed into one of the most famous department stores in the world.
