Much of London, for the tourist anyway, is historical. Ancient buildings and centuries old monuments. Palaces and works of art from the ages. But not Harrods. Harrods, even while its origins are from over 150 years ago, is as up-to-date as the latest computer.
The world’s greatest department store was established on its current site in 1849 by Charles Henry Harrod, a wholesale grocer. Harrod’s son Charles Digby rapidly grew the business and by 1880 employed 100 staff.
