HISTORY AND DESIGN: A FUSION OF OLD AND NEW

The Gentleman’s Lounge will launch in the oldest part of the Harrods – the area that was formerly The Green Man Pub. In fact, the pub was originally known as ‘The Gentleman’s Lounge’ and was frequented by some of London’s most fashionable gentlemen who would spend long afternoons smoking cigars and discussing the politics of the day. In keeping with the origins of the space, Harrods have worked with English Heritage and interior architects Callison to create a new space that retains the original features and ‘old-school’ club atmosphere of the former lounge, bringing a fresh, modern edge befitting of well groomed gentlemen. Smoked and frosted glass, steel, lit vitrines and polished wood veneers will pay homage to the gentry of Knightsbridge, offering a luxurious one-stop grooming emporium, situated in the comfort of a private lounge
