If you’re escaping the sweltering desert heat this season, there’s no better place to retreat than Harrods — London’s legendary department store, where shopping meets experiential elegance. From timeless British teas to Milanese pastries and Lebanese gastronomy, Harrods invites you to slow down, savour, and soak in the best of summer with curated experiences on every floor.
Begin your journey at The Georgian, Harrods’ crown jewel dining room. Originally opened in 1911 and now restored to its 1920s splendour, this iconic space offers refined afternoon teas and British dinner classics. Dine beneath ornate ceilings while a live pianist sets the mood, or step out onto the terrace and enjoy signature dishes like The Georgian Pie with a chilled cocktail.
For a taste of the Levant, Em Sherif on the Second Floor brings Beirut to Knightsbridge. Founded by celebrated chef Mireille Hayek and helmed by her daughter Yasmina, the restaurant serves exquisite mezze, grilled meats, and rose-scented desserts in a space painted in Yves Klein blue. It’s the brand’s first venture into Europe — and a must-visit for lovers of modern Middle Eastern cuisine.
Downstairs, fashion meets flavour at Prada Caffè. Styled in the label’s iconic pistachio-green and inspired by Prada’s original boutique, this Ground Floor escape offers Italian staples from cacio e pepe to pistachio layer cake. Whether you’re refuelling mid-shop or meeting friends for coffee, it’s a fashionable pause you won’t forget.
Fans of Breakfast at Tiffany’s will adore the Tiffany Blue Box Café, tucked beneath the Fine Watches section. Here, you can sip champagne or indulge in a full Manhattan-style breakfast surrounded by sparkling displays and Tiffany-blue interiors. Afternoon tea, complete with elegantly plated desserts and impeccable service, makes it one of the most charming corners of the store.
No visit to Harrods is complete without wandering through the Fresh Market Hall. This Ground Floor gallery of gourmet wonders showcases the best seasonal produce, premium seafood, Harrods’ iconic rotisserie chicken, and more. Whether you’re seeking a fresh juice or ingredients for a special dinner, it’s a celebration of fine food and culinary craftsmanship.
A short stroll away, the Chocolate Hall is a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth. With artisanal creations from global names like Pierre Marcolini and To’ak, and daily live chocolate-making at Harrods’ Chocolaterie, this is indulgence at its finest. Don’t miss the Godiva station’s fresh-dipped fruit for an on-the-go delight.
Each of these spaces is part of Harrods’ immersive summer curation — a storewide celebration of rarity, refinement, and sensory delight. Across all departments, from fashion to fragrance, the message is clear: luxury isn’t just a label — it’s an experience.
Whether you’re visiting London for the first time or returning to your favourite city escape, Harrods offers a cool, curated world of flavour, fashion, and flair that turns every summer day into something special. Explore the full collection of experiences at harrods.com.
