SELFRIDGES TAKES IT A NOTCH UP

Top upscale store-Selfridges has decided to take the shoppers already fantastic shopping experience to another level, so its not only about coming in to buy, its a total experience, with loads and loads of fun added to it. For the first time since World War 2, the store for the very well-heeled opened its roof top garden to the public, and the garden has a lake. A LAKE??,yes a lake on the roof over looking Oxford street & a spectacular view of London atop one of the best luxury store in town, and the very prestigious store went the whole way, the garden complete with thousand of plants, also has a cocktail bar, and to keep the lake safe, it even has a stand-by lifeguard.

The roof top garden, had been bombed in the 1940's-precisely 1940,1941 & 1944 and had caused major damages, making the owner  vow never to open the Roof top garden again, until now.





Selfridges was 1st opened on  March 15,1909, making it a 102 years old this year, the owner H. Gordon Selfridges was said to have coined the now very famous phrase '' The Customer is always right'' and some of the innovations he introduced are still being copied till date.
