Harrods
Britain's most famous department store has occupied its Knightsbridge landmark since 1849. Its seven floors and over 300 departments range from fresh oysters in the Food Halls to haute couture, jewellery and toys. The illuminated terracotta façade is a London landmark in itself. Perfume clouds envelop the ground floor; marble floors echo with 300+ languages daily.
