2 nd Best Mall “Harrods” Must See!
Harrods might be London's most famous department store and is a must visit on many tour-
ists' itineraries, who come to admire the magnificent interior and enormous selection.
Visitors often leave the store with a signature green shopping bag.
The history of this famous luxury store goes back to 1849 when Charles Henry Harrod
opened a grocery at Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, at the time a small village just outside
London. Just two years later, the Great Exhibition of 1851, which took place at Crystal
Palace in nearby Hyde Park, brought many visitors to the area. Knightsbridge and Harrod's
new store boomed.
