Harrods At Night
At night, it lights up with 12,000 lightbulbs turning Harrods into a beacon of light, 300 lightbulbs need replacing each day.
Harrods has something for everyone, clothes, food, chocolate, shoes you name it.
It is rather expensive but its worth it!
However, not all items are totally overpriced, if you just take the time to explore around.
The food halls are impressive and have to be seen to be believed.

Since The Deaths Of Princess Diana, And Mohamed Al-Fayed's Son "Dodi Al-Fayed"
Two memorials funded by Al-Fayed have been erected inside Harrods to the couple.
The first, on April 12, 1998, consists of photographs of the two behind a pyramid-shaped display that holds a wine glass still smudged with lipstick from Diana's last dinner as well as an engagement ring Dodi purchased the day before they died.
The second memorial, in 2005 and located by the Egyptian escalator at door three, is titled "Innocent Victims", is a bronze statue of the two dancing on a beach beneath the wings of an albatross, the albatross is a bird which is said to symbolize the "Holy Spirit".
Mr Al Fayed said he wanted to keep the pair's "spirit alive" through the statue.
When I go there I always see lots of people looking at the memorials and signing the remembrance book for Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed.
Harrod's Egyptian Area
Harrod's Egyptian Stairs
Harrods Egyptian Halls.
At Harrods Egyptian halls, I loved the pharaohs in the Egyptian Room, apparently they're modeled in Mohammed al-Fayed's likeness, unfortunately I wasn't`t aloud to take photos there.
Visiting Harrods is a great experience I love the food halls as well as the grandiose Egyptian Staircase it is so amazing, everything about Harrods says class to me even the luxury washrooms.
It has all the big names there like Giorgio Armani , Chanel, Christian Dior, Juicy Couture, Rock and Republic, Vera Wang, Dolce & Gabbana , Burberry London, etc.
At the Arcade you will find lots and lots of affordable merchandise and souvenirs with the Harrods logo.
Anyway, this place is huge so be prepared to get lost on your first time shopping at Harrods, the map will serve you well.
Great place to pay a visit to, even though it is pricey, definitely worth a look!
