Harrods started life on businessman Charles Henry Harrod’s illustrious roster of haberdashers, grocers and, eventually, tea wholesalers, before making its home in the impressive terracotta palace on Knightsbridge’s Brompton Road. Expanding to become a revered purveyor of medicine, perfume, stationery and groceries, Harrods – as we know it today – is Europe’s biggest department store, and home to countless brands that cater to every possible whim. Ensuring people across the globe can own a piece of Harrods, our in-house brand boasts souvenirs in the form of teddy bears, handbags and wallets, Harrods of London baby clothing and homewares, plus the quality food and wine that comes straight from the famous Food Halls and fills Harrods hampers. Step into the wonderful world of Harrods online to experience the very best that London has to offer.
The friendly smile as you walk through the door, the “see you soon!” as you head home; our legendary Green Men are so much more than doormen. With the exception of the First World War years (when Green Women were recruited), they have been on hand for over a century, ensuring that every customer enjoys their visit to Harrods; and they’re still happy to chat (or pose for a selfie) to this day.

From bears for newborns to bears in uniform, a friend from Harrods is a friend for life. Institutions in their own right, the Christmas Bear and the Annual Bear are Harrods staples, but they aren’t the only cuddly companions close to our heart., Don’t overlook the equally loveable policeman, beefeater, guardsman and Green Man bears, all waiting to go to a new home.
