Harrods, the most famous London department store that first opened in 1834, sells almost anything people can dream of in its 330 departments. It has clothing for both men and women as well as jewellery, accessories, food and things for the house. You can even buy luxury yachts in the store! In the 20th century, it also used to have baby elephants in a separate section of the store which children loved visiting.

Throughout the history of Harrods, the store has always had an influence on fashion, style, and culture. It was also the place where the first moving stairs in Great Britain were installed in 1898. They were totally different from the ones we have nowadays. Using them was such a scary experience that some customers refused to go up or down. Specially trained employees helped them stay calm and give the stairs a try.

On Monday, 10th September, 2007, the store displayed a beautiful pair of elegant sandals decorated with rubies, sapphires and diamonds, which cost £62,000. Apart from security cameras, a live Egyptian cobra hired from a private owner was used to watch over the sandals. The owners of Harrods knew that people would be afraid to approach the cobra and so the valuable shoes would be safe.

In the past, customers were not permitted to enter Harrods if they were not wearing suitable clothing. Nowadays most dress styles are allowed in the store, but if you bring a backpack, you will be asked to wear it on your front. You cannot eat or drink in the store unless it is in one of Harrods' many cafés and restaurants. Security staff can also refuse to let you in just for safety reasons.
