From the moment you enter through the large gold entrance to this world famous luxury department store, your visit will be a true experience. The spacious front of the store takes up most of Brompton road in Knightsbridge with its wonderful facade. The building itself was constructed back in the 1890’s so it has a real feel of the past. But don’t be fooled! The inside is as modern as any luxury retailer. You will easily recognise the store with its characteristic gold and racing green logo. It’s especially recommended to visit the store at Christmas time as the building is draped in impressive festive lights.

London Tour Guide

Robert Woolf

I am a London tour guide and my tours include talking about people who have shaped the city plus the many connected places such as Hampton Court Palace, The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the commercial centre of the city: the City of London, and London’s world class museums and galleries. I have been guiding for 12 years. I am a licenced London Blue Badge Tour Guide, a City of London Guide, and a Westminster Guide. The reviews I receive from clients speak of their enjoyment from the local knowledge and the humour I bring to my tours. Born within sight of Hampton Court Palace, I am a Londoner and apart from 2 years in the Middle East, I have worked in this capital city all my business and tour guiding careers. I have travelled widely and I appreciate what appeals to visitors coming to London. I can tailor my tours to interest children. I guide couples, families and larger tour groups. I particularly enjoy visits to Westminster Abbey, where I also volunteer guiding students and children through its wonderful interior – on my tours you will hear about monarchs, why scientists and poets are remembered, the architecture and religious history. The Abbey is the story of England. Come on an engaging and fun tour with me. There is so much to show you !
