Harrods is an institution in its own right. Once claiming to be ‘everything London’, tourists still flock there to buy teddy bears bearing the Harrods insignia or simply to gawp at the over-the-top glitz and super-abundance of the Egyptian Hall and the like.
The luxuries of its Food Hall are legendary, and in more recent years its Urban Retreat hairdressing and beauty salon has gained a reputation for its ultra-indulgent (and suitably expensive) Crème de la Mer facials.
