Harrods - London
An unmissable landmark on the Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, Harrods is probably the world''s best known department store.
Trading since 1849 when Henry Charles Harrod, a wholesale tea merchant of Eastcheap took over a grocer''s shop, it is now as much a tourist attraction as well as a magnificent temple to the cult of shopping. If you want a grand piano or a bag of jelly beans, there is a huge range of goods in this resplendent store.

Fortnum and Mason
An emporium of culinary and other delights. Situated on one of the grandest streets in the capital, this renowned department store has acquired a world famous reputation for teas and chocolates. Try the handmade Belgian bonbons and sip afternoon tea in the elegant surroundings of the tea room or restaurants upstairs. There are also designer clothes to try on and the atmosphere is refined. Pay a visit, if only to see the interior, which is decorated with hand painted murals.

John Lewis
An unusual, perhaps uniquely British Institution, based on sound retail principles: Unusually, John Lewis''s shareholders are their own staff, so anyone from an advisor in the kitchen department to the chief executive takes a share of the profits and as everything in their branches is ''never knowingly undersold'', you will probably find the cheapest version of anything from Calvin Klein perfume to a Bosch oven. The store may not be the world''s most exciting or cutting edge, but everything is very easy to find, the staff treat customers with respect and the kitchen department is pure heaven for amateur cooks.
Branches in Oxford Street, next to Oxford Circus tube (buses 25, 73, 10 ) and at Blue water Shopping centre, as well as Peter Jones (same shop, different name), King's Road, Chelsea. (bus 11).

Harvey Nichols
If you wondered where Patsy and Edina go shopping in the TV comedy Absolutely Fabulous, this is where they have their shopping sprees. The food emporium on the top floor has some well designed packages, from pasta to biscuits and their bread counter has many treats. Yo Sushi! Have opened up a branch inside the department store, so after trying on some designer clothes, having a make up session on the ground floor, you can enjoy Japanese fish in congenial surroundings.
Opening times:
Mon, Tues, Sat 10 am - 7 pm, Wed, Thurs, Fr 10 am - 8 pm, Sun 12 am - 6 pm
