Celebrity for an hour

It’s no secret that London is the shopping capital of the world, being home to some of the most well known fashion stores, from household names and luxury brands to boutiques. Liberty, Selfridges, Gucci, and Hamleys - you name it, London has it. However, during the festive season, it’s a race against time to bring out the glitz and glamour, both on the product shelves and building’s exterior. Avoiding, quite frankly, the unbearably busy mainstream streets of London, I ventured off to another popular choice known as Knightsbridge. Famous for its range of high end, upscale shopping outlets and cafes, there’s one that looks down (quite literally) over the rest…

Harrods department store originally opened in 1834 and is the go to for luxury garments, gifts and even groceries. But before you’ve even been greeted at the door by a concierge, every detail of the building’s grand exterior is covered in lights, gold, glitz and glam that screams Christmas. It’s enough to entice anyone to come in, festive season or not. Stepping inside is not much different, as every perfume, handbag, teddy bear and staircase to the next floor is intertwined with tinsel and sparkle. As if resisting anything on offer in Harrods wasn’t hard enough, this was now impossible. Needless to say, from the moment you’re greeted by the doorman to the exquisite range of produce, you’ll be getting the full celebrity treatment for an hour or so. I certainly did!
