Iconic luxury department store Harrods to open its first outlet location in a bid to shift excess stock that has built up in its store during the lockdown

Barry Lewis/InPictures via Getty ImagesThe company said that the new location, which is opening in Westfield shopping center in Shepherd's Bush in July, will be devoted to selling this season's stock that has been trapped in its flagship store during the lockdown.

"Harrods Outlet allows us to enable better social distancing across a larger footprint, move towards the new season decisively and confidently, and retail in a responsible way."
