Harrods

Pretty much an high-class department store.I walked in, walked around for a few minutes, and walked right out. The toilet paper in the bathroom is embroidered with silver leaves. The Lebanese restaurant looked pretty good, though.

We went for the food. If I ever go back to London on a budget, I’ll buy food here everyday. The food was better than in the restaurants I visited in London, and some of it is reasonably priced. The oyster bar was pricey but very good. Probably the best oysters I’ve ever had, and they recommended this excellent white wine that went so well with them! Yum!

Try not to let the crowds put you off too much – at the very least, wend your way to the Food Hall and salivate at all the displays. Biscuits and tea in pretty branded tins aren’t too expensive and make great souvenirs!

Well…the escalators were pretty cool and the live opera singer was a nice touch. =) I wouldn’t say this is a must when visiting London, though. It’s a gorgeous building inside (and out), but I’m not really a big fan of monuments to materialism, luxury, and needless expense.

I went with my mother right before the Christmas holidays. The decorations were “brilliant.” Oh, and you had to pay to use the loo!
