It may be the hottest day of 2024, but at Harrods it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
While most of us are still sweltering in the heat of the British summer, with temperatures reaching 35°C in some parts of the country, Harrods is gearing up for the festive season with the opening of its Christmas grotto.
The luxury retailer has kicked off the snow season four months early, after kitting out its Knightsbridge store with an entire floor of Christmas decorations.
The upmarket store in west London already has dozens of trees on offer, with the cheapest conifers selling for £1,429 undecorated.
The most gorgeous trees will sell for a whopping £3000 if it is a fully decorated living room staple.
For those on a tighter budget, a trophy white stag for the hallway will set you back a comparatively cheaper £1800.
