Description

Harrods is an upmarket department store on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge. Harrods started off in London's East End at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign. In 1835, Charles Henry Harrod, a tea merchant and grocery wholesaler, started his own shop opposite of his home in Stepney. Harrod was worried by a cholera epidemic sweeping London and he knew a businessman who wanted to get out of a lease on a grocery shop in Knightsbridge. The shop was moved in 1849 to what was then semi-rural Brompton Road. As Knightsbridge grew Harrods grew with it and several adjoining buildings were taken over by the store. - Wikipedia ;-))) Today, Gentlemen, is not a day to be stingy. Mine prefers chocolates, yours might prefer flowers? If you want a quiet life for the next 12 months: DO NOT FORGET!
