When I went to London, last summer, I was very happy. London is my favourite city and I love it. I would like to live in London but I'm too young, so I'm happy only to see it!
When I was in it, I visited Harrods, because my friends told me that Harrods is fantastic... So, I went to it. It is a very big store, with a fantastic variety of things, from food to clothes and shoes.
It's so expensive, but there are many things and the best clothes!!! I love shopping, so I bought a coat and a t-shirt.
There are many Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Prada, Tommy Jeans, Ralph Lauren's clothes for men and women. I'm a shopaholic girl!
Harrods isn't a normal department store. It is very different and particular. Here in Italy there aren't department stores like Harrods and I'm very sad because it is very exclusive and cool! A good place to go... If you are going to go to London, Harrods is one of the best places to go to do shopping.
I hope to come back to London very soon and visit Harrods for the second time!!

'aholic' (que podemos encontrar también en su variante 'oholic')
es un sufijo que puede agregarse a algunos sustantivos para indicar 'adicción'.
Así, si queremos referirnos a alguien adicto al trabajo podemos decir de
él que es un 'workaholic'. 'Shopaholic' es el adicto a las compras,
'chocoholic' el adicto al chocolate, etc. El término ha derivado
etimológicamente de la palabra 'alcoholic' (alcohólico).
En Londres se puede comprar casi cualquier cosa. Joyas,
antigüedades, ropa de diseño, discos de coleccionista ....
En la ciudad podremos encontrar desde grandes almacenes como Harrods o Harvey Nichols, elegantes emporios como Liberty en Regent Street o Fortnum & Mason en Picadilly, o increíbles mercadillos como el de Portobello Road o el de Camden Town.
El entorno formado por Regent Street y Oxford Street hasta Tottenham Court es la zona comercial por excelencia. Allí se encuentra la tienda de Burberrys, Hamleys (la mayor tienda de juguetes del mundo) o C&A, además de muchas otras tiendas más especializadas, sobre todo boutiques.
El Soho es el lugar al que hay que ir si queremos encontrarnos con la
mayor variedad de tiendas. En sus calles puedes encontrar ropa diversa,
tiendas de música, posters y coleccionables, así como numerosos cafés y
restaurantes.
Habitualmente el horario comercial es de 9 a 17:30.
