I’m a fan of the BBC America show The Selfridges just because I love the history of the store. I love it more than Harrods and avoid Harrods due to it being such a tourist place. Remember, I hate crowds! I love shopping in the “handbag” area. This time as I entered I just kept visualizing how this place use to be during the years when it was just making a name for itself. For those of you that don’t watch the show you have no idea what im talking about. To think one entire area was dedicated to selling tea, hats, hankies etc. I love those days!      

It’s truly been renovated with all modern aspects but I really wish I could have ridden the elevator with the guy in the hat and suit like on TV and told him “ladies apparel please”. The fine liquor and wine area is one of the finest around. And the watch department. Their watch area makes my rolexes look like they are just awful. I’m posting a few pictures. Please make note the prices are in british pounds and not american dollars. So almost double the price to see what our cost would be. Didn’t purchase a watch. Not this “time.”

               Amazing isn’t it?? And yes people were buying tons!!! Here’s a pic of the “tasting area.” Pay your fee and try the scotches and wines. Had to drag my husband away from this area!
