Harrods
Harrods is London's most famous department store. It's been famous for years, not only for it's beautiful and luxurious products, but also because of it's most current owner, Mohamed Al-Fayed, whose late son, Dodi Al-Fayed dated Princess Diana.
Unfortunately, the beautiful facade of Harrods is under construction, so I couldn't take a nice photo, but lets be honest, I didn't go to Harrods to marvel at the beauty outside, I went to marvel at the gorgeous food hall inside!
Harrods boasts multiple restaurants, and a wonderful food hall, with all types of cuisine from around the world.
If you visit Harrods, take a while to walk around Knightsbridge, the area of London where Harrods is located. Knightsbridge is one of London's most expensive areas. Don't forget to stop by Harvey Nicols, which was one of Princess Diana's most favorite places to shop.
I took lots of photos, but unfortunately the light was not amazing, and everything was behind a glass case, but I did the best I could!
Lets start out with baked goods!
Bread...
And baguettes
Croissants
Pastry
Hot Cross Buns
Sandwiches
Cakes and desserts

Food from around the world including Lebanese..
And Thai
And of course, Easter candy...
Some as tall as me!
