This Christmas, anyone walking along the Brompton road will
be greeted to see how Harrods iconic store 10 front windows have displays
inspired by Disney Princess. Each dress is design by top fashion labels and
they will be displayed in pride of place within a magical themed backdrop.
Harrods has already brought in the Christmas cheer by
switching on its festive lights marked by a spectacular firework display. This
is probably the most iconic superstore in London since Charles Henry Harrod founded
it in 1824 in Southwark. His son Charles Digby Harrod established Harrods in a
small shop in Brompton as a thriving retail operation selling medicines,
perfumes, stationery, fruit and vegetables. The business expanded and employed
a hundred people by 1880. Some of its best customers were Oscar Wilde, Charlie
Chaplin, Sigmund Freud and many member of the Royal Family. The department
store was purchased by the Fayed brothers in 1985, who sold it Qatar Holdings
in 2010.
You can find everything you need in one of the 330 departments
included in the store. Harrods offer a wide range of products and services
include clothing, electronics, jewellery, sporting gear, bridal trousseau, pets
and pet accessories, toys, food and drink, health and beauty items, packaged
gifts, stationery, housewares, home appliances, furniture, and much more.
