Harrods London
Though it belongs to the Royal Family of Qatar, the luxury deparment stores of Harrods was originally part of the business conglomerate of Charles Henry Harrod, a tycoon who owned retail business, real estate, a bank, and even his own airline (Harrods Aviation). These stores are located in Knightsbridge, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods of London, and most of the shops belong to luxury brands. It's easy to see, then, walking by on its hallways the families of the kings and princes of middle eastern countries, mixed with the high class of many countries of the world. At the beginning of the 20th Century, Harrods planned and opened the only international store outside of the UK, in Buenos Aires, where the british-influenced building is still preserved nowadays.
