All aboard the Harrods Express

Every year the exclusive Knightsbridge store pulls out all the stops to put on a lavish display, attracting thousands of shoppers from across the globe.

For 2013 the iconic London shop has been inspired by the classic British steam train, creating a magical Harrods Express to roll around the store.

For the Christmas season, the world’s most luxurious corner shop has decked its windows out to look like a British steam train, including a setting for a piano bar and a dinner party.

The display took a team of 50 people over 500 hours to create.

To coincide with the launch of the windows, Harrods.com has unveiled its Christmas video.

“Each year we aim to deliver unique Christmas windows which will enthrall and inspire our visitors from around the world,” explains Harrods store image director, Mark Briggs.
