Those living within the vicinity of Harrods wish they didn't. Their lives and the value of their properties have been hugely and negatively affected by successive owners anxious to sweat the site for as much revenue as possible. Harrods cares not one iota for residents. Councillors promise-year in and year out-to do something about rickshaws, super cars, drug dealers, prostitutes, beggars, etc drawn to the area around Harrods.... but they do nothing.
In the meantime, residents put up with all of the above-plus litter and the consequent vermin infestation.
Now Harrods want to sell alcohol up to 11.00 pm practically
every day !!!
every day !!!
If RBK&C permits this it will do two things...
- Increase socially unacceptable behaviour
- Set a precedent for other stores in the area
This application needs to be fought tooth and nail. Please circulate the link The Hornet to EVERYBODY you know asking them to object to the Council in the strongest possible terms. This is the thin end of a very wide wedge. There is every possibility that Harrods will soon apply for permission to develop a hotel on the top two floors

another by-election another chance for "the Chicken" to stand - which he did not
ReplyDeleteHilarious...councillors are such chickens that none dare challenge their 14 year old and useless leader!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of being in the same room as many of 'our councillors' fills one with revulsion. The ones that are not paedophiles are stupid, craven and boring. And others, who have to be nameless, are corrupt and on the take!
Much better to be outside blasting away at boy loving perverts and greedy
leaders!
Anonymous 12.41 is too cryptic. Please translate.
ReplyDeleteThe Council encourages various nuisances at residents' expense by its permissive attitude towards Big Business. The little guys are expected to put up and shut up.
Harrods wants to grab everyone's nights' sleep in pursuit of profit. Yet I understood the current owners disapprove of alcohol.
12:41
ReplyDeleteis a Conservative councillor who was 'fingered'by the Dame for an over active interest in very young boys and gross abuse of council resources.
He is very angry at having been exposed(and a very unpleasant sight too!)
What is the position of the Brompton Ward Councillors about this matter. Cllr Marshall, Mosley and Abbas?
ReplyDeleteEvery resident MUST write to the Council and make a fuss. It is incredible that an Arab owned organisation is so keen to encourage the use of alcohol - something that it could not do in its own country
ReplyDeleteHarrods has caused a blight on property owners in the South Kensington area. Local residents have experienced a collapse in their quality of life in recent years because so much low life is attracted to the area by the Harrods initiatives and K&C council and its Ward Councillors do not seem to give stuff about the opinions of people who elected them as representatives and pay their allowances
ReplyDeleteVery sad. The house that Cockell built
I feel sorry for those people who have to endure the excesses and anti social behaviour around Harrods. Who would have believed that customers of Harrods of all places are causing this type of disruption. It is a sign of the times, Harrods is not what it once was and is just a tourist attraction. The answer is for the Counsel to start doing it's job properly and seek a meeting with the management at Harrods and agree some sensible, responsible, resident considerate guidelines and work together in harmony. It really is not asking too much for this Counsel to do it's job properly.
ReplyDeleteI would also add that it shows up the inexperience and arrogance of the councillors who probably could not give a monkeys. Cllr Marshall is a good example of all that is wrong with RBK&C.
ReplyDeleteCllr Marshall thinks we are dumb...
ReplyDeleteHe writes saying that 'lets try to persuade them to use just one door'.
Whose pocket are you in, Marshall?
We want no late night boozing. I suppose you think now you have moved to Coutts you will manage some Al Thani money...forget it you polo playing twit!
It is outrageously hypocritical for the Qataris to pretend to be Islamic and yet use their money to make more money flogging booze...disgusting
ReplyDeleteHarrods used to be a top department store for gentlefolk. We went there to buy prep school uniforms for the children. Then the dreadful man from Egypt turned it into a bazaar for the vulgar rich to buy from "brand" concessions in the store. The clientele nose dived.
ReplyDeleteNow the bazaar culture is spreading outside to the public spaces. Pavement cafes, prostitutes, late night noise and alcohol, drag races and all sorts of low life.
When will Cllr Marshall notice that change has taken place? When will he get the Council to reverse the tide? When will residents get some relief?
Useless polo stick
The three Councillors of Brompton Ward (Marshall, Mosley and Abbas) have a chance to demonstrate that they are useful
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you . We had with the late Shireen Ritchie somebody to stand for us. Let us see if our "elected' Councillors care for the residents.
DeleteI am afraid that this again shows the councillors up in a very dim light. In particular Cllr Marshall thinks he is the bees knees and ever so important. Far too important to deal with the domestic going on outside what used to be the finest department Store in the country. Like many things in this country the standards of taste and behaviour are poor. The area outside Harrods is no different. I just hope that this reaches the ears of the Quatari Royal family who I am sure would withdraw this rather odious and antisocial alcohol application. The Councillors should also do the right thing and support the local residents without hesitation.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with the new Senior Qatari management of Harrods ? After Al Fayyed ,who wasted away the Royal Warrants, we find the Royals of Qatar who restrict Alcohol in their country are hell bent on bringing their kids to London to drink and frolic within the confines of Harrods, as if the residents of Knightsbridge did not have enough from Cafe Laduree.
ReplyDeleteDid the Qatari Royal family ask their muslim Imam Qaradawi who preaches on ALjazeera every Sunday whether this is allowed under Islamic Law. Where is your islamic morals AL THANI ?
Mr. Jonathan Bore, Executive Director, Planning and Borough Development
ReplyDeleteThis is an open letter to you and your honourable committee to please refuse Harrods application we residents have rights also to live in peace. Laduree has degraded Knightsbridge enough why do you want to extend the residents misery until late hours of the evening ??? Harrods will still pay their taxes like everybody else why are you scared of them??? You are dragging .the area from the jewel in the Crown to the pits. The area has become like down town Calcutta with rickshaws, prostitutes, drug dealers,etc... Please consider carefully , this is a Department Store not a late night venue for antisocial behaviour for Qataris.
It seems to me that Harrods is fast a becoming an entertainment venue rather than a department store. How long will it be until they turn it into a Hotel (as they doing elsewhere in the world) ? and will the Council roll over and grant permission for this too? Henry Harrod must be spinning in his grave!!!!!!
