Store
Harrods
87-135 Brompton Rd, London SW1X 7XL, UK
Terracotta landmark department store in Knightsbridge trading since eighteen forty-nine, birthplace of London's first escalator.
This guide to Harrods in London opens with the small stuffed bear A. A. Milne bought here in 1921 for his son's birthday, and traces the store back to Charles Henry Harrod's single room on this site in 1849, through the Christmas fire of 1883 that nearly ended it. You'll meet the shoppers who gripped handrails on London's first escalator in 1898, uncertain what waited for them at the top. Notice the terracotta and red brick facade dating to 1905 as you step inside.
