The Quintessential English Tour…Day 3 cont’d!

Harrods3a

We are in Harrods of London and we were let loose for a few hours! This is a shopping experience like none other and you really need an entire day here, not necessarily to shop, but just to experience every little nuance, every nook and cranny, to dine, to sip and so much more!

This is the Prosecco Bar and of course they would have a Prosecco Bar. Do you know that it is such a popular drink that they are expecting a world wide shortage of it?

Ice Cream, The Tea Room, Pastries and more! You could just eat your way through Harrods!

We were told not to miss the Egyptian Escalator! Quite elaborate and rather difficult to photograph.

The Food Court was definitely the best! And I could have spent an entire day taking it all in. And the attention to details and the customer service is like I have never ever experienced!

All too soon our time in Harrods was coming to an end. Can you believe that Jeremy and I ran into someone that we know from the needlepoint industry? She travels to London quite often and was there for the Chelsea Flower Show…but what are the odds?

Elizabeth and I had been driving Jeremy crazy forever that we wanted to see his shop!

Well Jeremy obliged and he has a  most “lovely” gift shop…

Where we all enjoyed some more retail therapy!

The street where the shop is and I loved the way all the Union Jack’s were on display!

Day 4 will take us back to Hampton Palace, which is where the Royal School of Needlework is located. A tour of the tapestries and all the fineries of the Palace!

About Vicky

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. You have many wonderful memories of your trip. What fun you had! Was your suitcase stuffed with the results of retail therapy?

  2. I love both Harrod’s and Liberty of London! Your photos are great! I sure would like to go to Jeremy’s shop, too.

  3. Thanks for sharing your photos and adventures – lucky you! They let you take photos in Harrods? Last time I was there (it’s been a few years) they wouldn’t allow that.

  4. looks fantastic. I remember Harrods well. I was there quite a few years ago, but still remember every fab detail! The food courts and wine bars look fab!! Lucky you!
    How crazy to run into someone you knew! Small world!
