The Harrods Department Store has the created Dodi Al-Fayaed and Princess Dianas Memorial at the Basement section of the Harrods Super Store. The memorial is located in the Eygptian section of the Department. The memorial has pictures of Dodi and Princes Diana. There is fountain in front of the pictures and candels are lit in their memory.

Harrods Departments

The Harrods Shopping Mall is located near the Tube Station Knights Bridge on Picadilly Line and has three floors. The Mall is divided in different sections. The food section really appealed me. There were food stalls from different parts of the world. This distinguished Harroeds from other hi-tech Malls which I have visited in past. The other section which appealed me the most was the one which displayed collection of ornamental pens and chess boards. Each article in this section is just worth watching for a poor SAP consultant like me. For the simple reason, the cost of each article at display being exhorbitent.

The basement section is comletely created in Egyptian theme.
Yes we did buy chocolates from Harrods as momento of our visit and gifted it to our dear friend Onur at Covent Garden.

Harrods - Mohamed Alfayed

I had been to Harrods with Abhi once we were in London. Everyone had recommended me to visit Harrods and I was wondering why? With so many malls sprung up in last few years in Mumbai, I was not keen to go and visit Harrods in London. For most of the Bollywood fans, there is high possibility to sight one of your favourite stars at Harrods. As most of them visit Harrods to buy some exclusive jewellery, accessories or something else.
During my first visit to Harrods, I was hoping to see one. We roamed all three floors of Harrods and were not able to site any Bollywood star. On the ground floor we sighted the wax statue of Harrods owner – Mohamed AlFayed. And Abhi asked me to get satisfied with statue.
On my request, we then went to see the glassware section. As usual Abhi was being extra cautious and taking full care that I do not bump into one of the costly artifcats displayed in that section. In an attempt to be away from the displayed artifacts I moved behind a step and Abhi pulled me back. I was going to bump into one man in grey suit. There were body gaurds roaming around him. Within splits of seconds Abhi shouted and me, as usual you were going to hit him. That man smiled and walked around and every member of the staff was greeting him. To my surprise he was the Harrods owner, Mohamed AlFayed. Wow!!!
My visit to Harrods was successful. :D
I wanted to show it to my parents. We took bus from Bakers street to Harrods – Knights Bridge Tube station.
It was long day and we were tired so we wrapped up quickly.
