The most famous sale in the world. Harrods' Xmas sale starting on the Boxing Day.
I've seen many stories and clips on the sale and while in London on a very same day this sales-madness was definetly something to catch.
Incidently, London underground was striking on a sales start day, but it seemed not to affect to the crowd in the front of the department store.
The queue was long. Stretching over the facade of the Harrods. And when doors opened on 10 AM people were applauding and screaming began.
In five minutes everyone was in (then the doors were closed again because the luxury & parfume departments were stackfull of shoppers. All that can be seen on a video above.
The best sight? A young lady walking by me with five designer bags on her elbows just few minutes after the door had been opened.
Me? I did not buy anything. It was for the show and it was worth of it.
UPDATE 5PM. ITV news reports the Xmas sales been 22% higher than last year bringing £4Billion to the shops today only. Five million Britons headed to the high street sales and even if it was underground strike in London, Oxford Street was full.
