A great show - but watch your handbag

You don't need to spend any money here to enjoy a great few hours, just looking around.

There's loads to see - one of the best free attractions in London!

For starters, there are the window displays outside. Spend some time looking at them all. Works of Art! This can easily take half an hour.

Then go inside. Wow! The light, the colours, the sounds, the perfumes! It's a real shock to all the senses as you go into this Aladdin's Cave or Temple to Consumerism.

Have a look at any department, you'll be thunderstruck. Are there really people who spend that sort of money? Who have that sort of spare cash? Are they avid readers of TripAdvisor?

So look at the watches, and other jewellery, of some of the other customers. Gulp! A young foreign couple, mid-twenties, glistening and glittering with diamonds. Both of them. An elderly lady, hair neatly covered by a black scarf, but seems hardly strong enough to bear the weight of the rings and bracelets peeping out of her sleeve. It's fabulous country for people watching!

But DO enjoy all that this wonderful store has to offer.
