Shall we Shop?

Harrods



If you like to shop, you'll have a whirl of good time at Harrods. It reminds me of the original Macy's in New York City.  A bit confusing and also intimidating at the same time.  Here's what VisitLondon has to say:

About
For more than 160 years, Harrods has been a luxury shopping destination for exclusive collections and excellent service.
With seven floors and 330 departments dedicated to the finest products in food, fashion, homeware and technology, Harrods has something for everyone.

The new luxury womenswear department, Superbrands, has 17 boutiques dedicated to top international brands, including Valentino, Prada and Dior, while Salon du Parfums houses the finest fragrances exclusive to Harrods.

Shoppers can choose to dine in one of the store's 27 restaurants, including a pizzeria, steakhouse, oyster bar and new contemporary Chinese restaurant, Chai Wu. The Georgian is an elegant venue for afternoon tea, while the Harrods Food Halls have a wide selection of tea, chocolate and fresh produce.
Payments can be made in Euros or dollars as an option.

Established in 1849 as a humble grocery store, today Harrods is dedicated to the finest products in food, fashion, homeware, technology and more, plus restaurants and specialist services. Make sure you check out the Egyptian Hall, Salon du Parfums and the Pet Department. At night, the store is illuminated by 11,500 light bulbs.
I'm adding: don't miss the book store section, and the basement for fresh food and bakery.

Marks & Spencer

You can't go wrong with M&S! London's flagship. Marks & Spencer at Marble Arch boasts an impressive range of affordable buys. Staples like lingerie and clothing are joined by flowers, furniture and fabrics. There's also the M&S Café and the mouth-watering aisles of the food hall – enough to keep even the most intrepid shopper occupied.

Selfridges (right down from M&S)

Whatever you're after – bags, shoes, cosmetics, soft furnishings, books, a speciality food hall or cafés – you'll find it in Selfridges, London's amazing one-stop department store! There's a budget-busting designer clothing section and The Wonder Room, home to the world's most desirable brands, from Cartier and Chopard to Bulgari and more.

Liberty London

Opened in 1875, Liberty is one of London's most traditional stores, but venture inside and you'll find a whole host of cutting-edge ranges. Designers include Vivienne Westwood, Chloé and Tod's, plus there's an impressive beauty hall and haberdashery. Celebrating fine design and craftsmanship, Liberty is a shoppers' paradise.

Fortnum & Mason

The quintessential English store, Fortnum & Mason has been selling food, luggage, homewares and clothes to London's finest since 1707. The official grocer to The Queen, the beautiful store has four restaurants and sells the most indulgent foodstuffs. If you want specialist teas or exquisite hampers, this is the place to go.
