Harrod's

OK, OK, so it's Harrod's--where the chauffeurs in the Rolls Royces line up to await their masters. It is allegedly the place hwere once a rich customer called up and ordered an elephant as a gift, and was only asked, "Sir, will that be an African or an Indian elephant?"



Aside from the £5,000 Tom Ford alligator shoes that I picked up and gasped, they have a ton of handbags for under £1,000 and other tons for way over £1,000. (I just love using the little symbol for £ that's on this keyboard.) But my favorite part of this department store is the Food Court, where you not only can find any expensive food you could imagine, but it is a spectacle to see.
Hey, gotta love the chandeliers.

This would, of course, be the caviar section. One of those little labels that you can't read says, "Harrod's Beluga Caviar, 125 grams, £950.

The fish counter looks like an old masters still life painting.
