Harrods' Christmas Parade 2011

Harrods' Christmas Grotto may be fully booked for 2011 but families can still catch a glimpse of the man in red –along with other Xmas characters, giant Harrods teddies, street dancers and real-life reindeer – in the Harrods' Christmas Parade. The pre-parade begins at 8am (best views are from Basil St), the procession then moves along Brompton Rd, with Santa due to enter the store at 8.50am to officially open the Christmas Grotto at 9am.
