    As tourists there in 2005, we bought carry out lunch several days from Harrod’s and it was better, cheaper and healthier than most restaurants in the area. Sandwiches, juice, salads, then we walked a few blocks over to Hyde Park, sat on a bench and ate while watching people walk by - it was lovely. I also bought a travel umbrella there, which I still carry. Happy memories.

It might be worth asking, when at Harrods in the Food Court or Christmas Decor! THANK YOU so much for sharing the tour. What a WONDERFUL tour..... finally able to SEE inside Harrods, and specially at Christmas, WOW! The decor of the Food Court, Etc. is just stunning, took my breath away, reminded me of a few mini Bakeries & Candy Stores here in the USA. They probably tried to copy Europe & Harrods!

    We been going from Gothenburg, Sweden to London each year about Christmas and Harrods and their food hall is an absolute must to visit for us. I also one year went and asked an employee about "Christmas Balls" to which my wife nudged me and said "its CALLED Christmas ornaments" (you called them "Bau balls?!), so now we have this as a yearly routine that we must buy new beautiful Christmas Balls from Harrods each visit. I even have 3 of the really big ones that look like Fabargé made them that comes in really beautiful satin boxes. I also have the Union Jack one at 32:59, and its quite nice that they put the years on them.
    Having 2 small children we also had to visit Hamleys and have a "Cookie Monster" milkshake at the shake place on the top floor.

    • @MTknitter22
      @MTknitter22 3 роки тому +2

      yes @Marlene Braun, the change in Britain’s demographics has affected that - its been noticeable last ten years. But my favorite local shoppes keep the CHRISTMAS in their decorations and will never change.

    • @DovidM
      @DovidM 3 роки тому

      Department stores supposedly put Christmas front and center in their windows if they think it is needed to draw shoppers in. It is said that the space allocated to Santa inside a department store reflects the store’s relative pessimism about their sales. The more they worry about sales, the more space Santa gets.
      I agree that Harrod’s at least in years past was able to draw enough tourists at Christmas time that they didn’t bother with Christmas-themed windows. One would expect them to try to appeal to British shoppers given the downturn in tourism.

    My husband’s niece lives in Chippenham, whenever we get to visit her from California, I am going to Harrods that’s for sure! It would have been fun during Christmas time, everything looks so pretty and I would probably buy a lot! 😁💖... We call hampers, Picnic baskets and put our dirty clothes in what we call hampers! Lol. I just had bought a couple boxes of Walkers biscuits right before Christmas, no pictures of the Queen on the box though. There’s a store called World Market that I buy chocolates, biscuits, candies (sweets), teas and coffee. Certain things come from England, Germany, Italy, France and even from Japan. They sale all kinds of merchandise too. But I hope to travel more abroad in 2021! 💖

    I worked for Harrods in 72/73. My sister worked for a detective agency that was periodically hired by Harrods to check up on the employees. We loved the days that the Food Hall was being tested because we were allowed to keep the food that was purchased. I had a standing order for the Beef Wellington! Working for Harrods in those days was a blend of Are you Being Served and The Peter Sellers movie I'm All Right Jack. There was an understanding between the House of Fraser and the employees. The company paid poor wages and the workers did no work. I had a discount of a penny in a shilling but I bought nothing all the time I was there

Well, I had to go of course, and what I recall most is an absolutely cavernous room filled with Christmas crackers!

    I can remember the fabulous window decorations/displays of yesteryears. These look sparse in comparison. Nice but incomparable. Sad that Santa seemed to be missing along with his grotto. I get ideas of what to cook when I visit luxury stores. I’m just so pleased I learnt how to cook. I can recreate some of what is shown at a fraction of the cost. The cooked dishes looked superb. My mouth was watering just looking at them. Making truffles is easier that you may think & you can put your own liquors /flavours in & you can freeze them. The flowers were wonderful but cost is prohibitive for most people. Not impressed with the Christmas decorations either decorating the store or for sale. It didn’t look Christmassy & the bauble/ornaments for the tree were not my taste at all.
