We visited Harrod's, England's most famous and most elegant department store, on Knightsbridge near Piccadilly Circus. A little bit different from our usual shopping experience.
It's an enormous (full square block) eight-story Victorian Building that looks -- inside and out -- like no other department store we've ever seen. It has doormen at each entrance and three-hundred departments.
The food area is lushly lighted and decorated. Everything looks wonderful. There are rooms for vegetables, fish, meat, fruit, sweets, coffee and tea..... It's a very upscale grocery shopping area in the middle of an upscale department store. Places to eat are scattered all about. They include a coffee bar (we had a latte), tea shop, sushi bar, lunch counter (definitely not Woolworth's), wine cellar, and a chocolate room.
Everything is beautiful in there -- a shopper's Disneyland.

We browsed a bit in the housewares section and were actually asked "Are you being served?". Wish we could blog the posh British accent.
And then, of course, we had to visit the toy department.
