Shopping/markets
Occupying an entire block of Brompton Road behind its distinctive illuminated facade, Harrods has been London's grandest department store since the 19th century, spanning multiple floors of luxury fashion, homeware, and its celebrated food halls with tiled Edwardian ceilings. A perfect must-see score and maximum aesthetic rating reflect its position as an essential stop on almost every visitor's itinerary, even though the rock-bottom hidden-gem score makes clear there's nothing undiscovered about it. Reviewers consistently highlight the food hall and the overall spectacle of the building itself as much as anything they actually buy. It suits travelers who want a grand, photogenic shopping experience rather than a bargain hunt.

What people say
"My first visit has been last april, but i only made it to the food court as we needed some food from there, but i will definitely be discovering more next time. The center is very pretty and with a lot of employees to help you around. We also loved their items check-in area which is spacious and very professional. My only complaint is that the food court needs seating."
