Harrods FAQ

Why is Harrods so famous?
Harrods is famous for its long history, luxury goods, and opulent shopping experience. It is known for being the world's largest luxury department store, with a wide selection of designer brands, a famous food hall, and exceptional customer service. The store is also recognized for its grandeur, historical significance, and iconic status in London.
What is the history behind Harrods?
Founded in 1834, Harrods boasts a nearly two-century history and is synonymous with luxury and tradition. It was the first store to introduce a moving staircase, a service that was so intimidating that customers were given brandy to calm their nerves. It is also associated with significant cultural events, such as A.A. Milne buying the original teddy bear for his son, which inspired the Winnie the Pooh stories.
Is there still a dress code in Harrods?
We do not have a specific dress code for entry into the store, including any of our restaurants. However, we do reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who is not deemed to be appropriately dressed. Sportswear, including trainers, shorts, and tracksuits, are permitted across all areas of the store and restaurants.
Who currently owns Harrods?
No, Mohamed Al Fayed does not own Harrods; he sold the luxury department store in 2010 to the Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar. Al Fayed owned the store between 1985 and 2010 before transferring ownership to its current owners.
What makes the Harrods Food Halls special?
The Harrods Food Halls are renowned for their exquisite selection of gourmet foods from around the world. Visitors can find artisanal cheeses, freshly baked goods, fine wines, and a vast array of international delicacies, all presented in a visually stunning and historic setting.
