The Harrods Food Hall is one of the best in the world, and it's a must-stop for a foodie like me. I won't travel to London without at stepping foot here at least once per visit because I love it so very much.
The space is massive and sprawling, and it's a true feast for the senses. The smells, the sights, the food...it's overwhelming! This food hall is a gourmet wonderland with fancy pastries, cheeses, sit-down bars and restaurants, and more.
This isn't an inexpensive place to shop or dine, though, as the offering are luxurious. The decor itself is lovely (with marble counters and some employees in bowties and suits), and you'll pay a pretty penny to shop and eat here. Even if you aren't planning to drop some cash, it's worth a stop just to look around.
The Food Hall is divided into different sections based on the type of food: meats, pastries, chocolates, cheeses, olive oils, artisan teas, wines, and more. The bakery counter is my heaven on Earth, with fresh and buttery croissants and other goodies that look to beautiful to eat ( I mean, even the baguettes are Insta-worthy). The seafood display is equally photogenic (and super expensive: think caviar, lobsters, fish filets, oysters and more). Macarons, fancy pants cheeses, jaw-droppingly beautiful chocolates...the food here could be considered works of culinary art!
This isn't the place to go if you are avoiding crowds because its popularity means it can be wall-to-wall with people. Navigating the aisles can be tricky, so bring your patience (and let me mention again, your wallet)! The experience is next level during the Christmas season.
The Knightsbridge tube station is right at the main entrance, and there are plenty of buses, taxis, and it's easy to grab an Uber.
The Harrods Food Hall is a must-visit for anyone who loves food and wants a peek into one of London's most iconic culinary spaces. One of my absolute favorite places in all of London.
