History
Harrods had origins in the East End of London at the beginning of the reign of queen Victoria. In 1835, Charles Henry Harrod established the shop in the sidewalk of opposite his house, in Stepney. Harrods, worried by the epidemic of cholera that was flogging London, knew a merchant who wanted to get away from the rent of a store of ultramarine in Knightsbridge, that´s why the shop was moved in 1849 to what at the time was the semi-rural Brompton Road.

Harrods grew and the shop acquired several contiguous buildings. It had a great transformation in 1861 when Harrod's son, Charles Digby Harrod, took charge of the business. On December 6, 1883, a fire destroyed the buildings of the stores, giving to the family the occasion to reconstruct them to a bigger scale.

In 1959 the House Fraser bought the stores. Harrods has been attacked by IRA in three occasions. It suffered many hurts but in spite of it re –opened before three days . Harrods was bought by the brothers Al in 1985 by 615 million pounds, since then the space of sales has been extended to include those who before were zones for the personnel and the storage, on the top basement and the floors.
