Harrods

I wasn't that impressed with Harrod's to be honest. It had the same stuff in it as any other large department store around the world. I remember as a child the toy department being something to orr about with the most unique and flash toys anywhere. Now I saw stuff that I can get at my local Warehouse Store.

The Food Hall is now the only thing to set it apart from other department stores- it is glorious, worth spending time in.

The Egyptian themed escalator area delighted my children, but to me was a little airy and spooky when you realize that the face on the sphynx's is the owners. Freaky in a very narcissistic way!

But the live opera singer sounds fantastic.

By the way, do not wear your backpack in there. You will get approached by security and asked to take it of. It either looks too shabby or it is related to the backpack bombing of the London subway. I'm not sure which, probably both.

I've been to Harrods many times and I've always been enchanted by the shop, the Egyptian hall, the food hall, etc. I would like here to mention especially the Georgian restaurant; the food is really excellent, I enjoyed to be served by an amiable waiter who could speak French with me (I thank him a lot for that, he remembers me each time I come there).

I would like too especially to thank the lovely pianist who accepted me to take some pictures of her during playing. Thank you, you are lovely and you play extremely well. I'll enjoy to see you again and to give you your pictures.
