Time for tea at revamped restaurant at Harrods

 
High times: Lizzie Edmonds enjoys her High Tea in the refurbished The Georgian at Harrods

Harrods has unveiled a multi-million-pound renovation of its flagship restaurant and tearoom The Georgian.

First opened in 1911, the opulent space on the fourth floor of the store has long been one of the top locations in the city to enjoy afternoon tea.

After more than a hundred years of service the space closed its doors for six weeks as everything from the carpets to the Art Deco skylight, installed in 1928, was lovingly restored.

Designer Christopher Guy Harrison, who loved the restaurant as a child and asked to be involved in the project, created more than 500 pieces of furniture for the space.

The renovation of The Georgian is the latest part of £250 million of investment in the store by Qatar Holdings, owned by the Qatari royal family, over the past four years.

Director of store development Martin Illingworth said: “This room is pure elegance and is everything Harrods stands for. The renovation of The Georgian is part of a jigsaw puzzle when it comes to the development of the store.”
