Fortnum and Mason / Which Store Is Better?

A lot of people know Harrods, as it is the world’s leading luxury department store. But one place that my sister and I visited and that seemed like the sister of Harrods was none other than Fortnum And Mason. My sister and I visited the new outlet at the Royal Exchange last year too. Did we enjoy it?

What is Fortnum and Mason?

Fortnum and Mason is an upmarket department store in Piccadilly, London. My sister and I visited this original store a few years ago, but around 2018/2019, the Royal Exchange opened a new outlet for Fortnum and Mason too. My sister and I then visited the new outlet last year. So, which one was better?

What did I like about Fortnum and Mason?

On both of the times we went, Fortnum and Mason was very posh, and it definitely brings out those elite vibes.
If you aspire to be wealthy in the future, looking around these types of shops can be quite inspiring.
In both stores, there was a variety of shops available, although I must say that the shop in Piccadilly was much larger in size and had a greater range of shops.
Because the shop in The Royal Exchange was mostly a food shop, I realised that there was also not much Halal food available.

What didn’t I like about Fortnum and Mason?

Of course, the items in Fortnum and Mason, just like Harrods, are very expensive.
Due to the high pricing, there may be little activities available for you to do.

Would I recommend it?

I think that if you enjoy shopping in general, or you have enjoyed being at Harrods before, then Fortnum and Mason is a must-go place. I would totally recommend the Piccadilly store over the Royal Exchange store, just because of its larger size, greater range and possibly more Halal options. But you are free to check both of them out if you want!
