Quality Crown Hotel London Kensington
(5 minutes by Tube)
Arguably the most famous, and undoubtedly the most expensive
department store in London, a trip behind the world famous
façade is a "must-do" part of any visit to London, even
if only to gape at the price tags !
Harrods is actually in Brompton Road, which leads off
Knightsbridge, itself a fairly short street of some of
the most expensive and exclusive shopping in London that
begins with Harvey Nichols, another delightful and expensive
department store at the junction with Sloane Street, and
continues with another world famous store - the Scotch
House - and follows on down Knightsbridge and Brompton
Road to Harrods with smaller shops for exclusive shoes,
clothes and jewellery as well as hair salons. Previously,
an area of very exclusive shops, recent years have seen
the opening of branches of chain stores such as Next,
Kookai, Boss and many more.
For relief on the long walk around all this floorspace,
you will find several coffee shops opposite Harrods and
some delightful restaurants in Walton Place, behind the
store.
