Selfridges

An early 20th century visionary, for whom the customer was always right, Harry Selfridge managed to achieve an unrivalled level of service. Today, his London department store continues to apply his motto. Selfridges sells men’s and women’s fashion labels (such as Fred Perry and Marc Jacobs for example), as well as homeware, toys, tech, beauty and food products. In 2010, the Oxford Street store just beat the Galeries Lafayette in Paris to open the largest shoe department in the world, covering 3,250m2. Heaven for shoe addicts. Renowned for their architectural innovation, Selfridges stores have become tourist attractions in their own right.
