This location inside Harrod's may be small but they have a nice variety and they keep stuff in…read moretheir storage room so, it may seem they don't have your size out on the floor but ask and they shall check their stock for you. Finding them may be a little tricky since Harrod's is massive with many passageways. Fortunately, there was a random nice lady who took me here. They had a team of 3 people. One lady was super helpful and the other 2 were only helpful once I started paying - 1 of which was from Canada, and she would not smile and looked like she was eternally suffering. I got a few London Swiftly shirts and a few London water bottles. I didn't see purple stickers on any of the items and I didn't see the We Made Too Much selections from the UK website in this store. They do have stand-alone lululemon stores in London but this was more convenient. I'll hit up other stores next time.

I think I can confidently say Harrods is the best store on earth. The building alone is…read moreextraordinary, occupying its corner of Knightsbridge with the scale and permanence of a London landmark. Inside, floor after floor unfolds into fashion, jewelry, food, technology, and nearly anything else someone could conceivably want to buy. It is unapologetically excessive, but that ambition is exactly what makes it so much fun. What surprises me most is how pleasant Harrods can feel despite all that luxury. My wife and I once looked at diamonds here, fully aware we were surrounded by merchandise operating in another financial universe, and the staff could not have been nicer. They answered our questions, treated us seriously, and never made the interaction feel slimy or transactional. For a place this fancy, the warmth was striking. Another visit produced one of those purchases that becomes attached to a place. My wife bought a pair of Gucci loafers here, a significant purchase for us, and she ended up wearing them constantly. I still associate those shoes with London and the excitement of buying something special at Harrods rather than ordering it online. The Food Halls create the same sense of occasion, with spectacular rooms and counters worth exploring even when you are not hungry. Personally, my favorite territory is the Fifth Floor, especially the technology. On my last visit, the running selection nearby included the largest and newest collection of On shoes I had ever seen, as though Roger Federer and the Swiss president had stopped by between Wimbledon matches for a glow-up. They also had a state-of-the-art Sony television that I remember being around 80 inches and roughly £100,000, showing Gran Turismo on the newest PlayStation at the time. The image was so absurdly good it practically melted my face. Nearby sat a Samsung or LG machine the size of a wardrobe that steamed, refreshed, and cleaned clothing, the kind of absurdly futuristic appliance that felt straight out of James Bond. That is Harrods in miniature: the biggest, newest, and best versions of things you already know, plus things you did not know existed. For someone fascinated by retail, brands, and consumer behavior, the entire building is basically a history museum of capitalism still operating at full speed. Even the people-watching is incredible, with an unusually diverse international crowd making Knightsbridge feel like a crossroads of wealth, fashion, tourism, and London life. Historically, that idea runs much deeper than the current merchandise. Harrods has occupied Knightsbridge since the 19th century, and its famous pet department once sold exotic animals, including lions. Someday I would love to take a proper historical tour with someone who knows the building, the Harrod family, and the strange commercial history packed into these rooms. The merchandise changes, but Harrods seems to have spent generations asking the same question: what is the most remarkable thing in the world that someone might conceivably want to buy? Ultimately, what impresses me is how gracefully Harrods carries all this excess. Extreme luxury can easily become vulgar, plastic, and gluttonous, yet Harrods reflects something England does exceptionally well: celebrating tradition, design, and innovation at the same time. The grandeur is enormous without becoming tasteless, and during the holidays especially, the building can feel genuinely magical. If you are visiting London, go at least once, even if you have absolutely no intention of buying anything.

Such a beautiful place. There are multiple floors of designer shopping, cafes, a food hall, and…read moresome regular shopping. If you are in London you have to make a stop and even get yourself a souvenir. While visiting we decided to get lunch on the first floor. It was a little expensive but worth the experience. If you can't make up your mind on a souvenir by the way, there is one more location in Heathrow :)

Since people keep asking me -- this is one of the main places I buy my sports clothing…read more The North Face has equipment for different types of sports and activities. They have the best capri pants (running pants), very light and quick-drying so I don't feel all wet when I'm working out. Hoodies are my weakness and their jackets are comfy and propper for London weather. When you travel so much and change climates frequently, clothing becomes an important part of your life. Since we wear clothes every day, I insist investing in quality. I don't mean to sound like promoting them, I just own a lot of clothes from this brand and I'm very pleased. Also: My brown sneakers are from here, but they may not have them since they're from last season. I always get lots of compliments on them. /Trying not to sound like a shopaholic girl/.

Vancouver's Lululemon invades London, nice!…read more A small scale invasion, so hopefully this little showroom will expand & I'm looking forward to the upcoming items they receive. The clothing is, in my opinion, high quality & an investment - dresses, jackets, pants etc that I've bought from Lululemon has lasted for years & can be dressed up or casually down. This location offers yoga classes on Sundays, check out their in store sessions calendar of events. As of right now, their hours only include Fri-Sat 10-6 & Sundays 12-5p.

It's not on the main street. rather it is down a smaller street tucked into a building and up a flight of stairs. There wasn't really anything to indicate that this store was here. I ended up buying a pair of long running pants and super thick scuba jacket here. I wasn't prepared for the cold early AM runs. The ladies were really lovely and it turns out that one of the girls was form California! I had time and got to attend one of their free yoga classes. Warm yoga on a drizzly day. Yessss. Super cool!
