Man, oh man, figuring out if Harrods was open on Boxing Day was a real adventure. I woke up early, super pumped to hit those sales, you know? First thing, I grabbed my phone and started Googling.
I typed in “is Harrods open on Boxing Day?” and a bunch of stuff popped up. Some websites had dates from like, years ago, so that wasn’t much help. Some had phone numbers, but I wasn’t about to make an international call at the crack of dawn!
Then I saw some info about Harrods and Boxing Day sales. Apparently, it’s a huge deal, not just some regular sale. Up to 50% off on thousands of items, can you believe it? I got even more excited! But then I saw that the hours might be different on Boxing Day. And to make things even more confusing, Christmas Day, everything’s closed, which makes sense.

Digging Deeper
I kept scrolling and found more specific info about the opening hours. Boxing Day is 10 am to 9 pm, which is pretty standard, but New Year’s Eve is 10 am to 7 pm, and New Year’s Day is 12 pm to 6 pm. And there’s even a little note that said “browsing only” from 11:30 am to 12 pm on New Year’s Day. What does that even mean?
I saw mentions of other places like the London Eye and some museums being open, but I was laser-focused on Harrods. I mean, who wouldn’t be? They’ve got everything from fancy clothes to fancy furniture. And the Christmas shop, don’t even get me started on that! It’s like a winter wonderland in there.
Putting it All Together
So, I pieced together all the info. Here’s what I gathered about Harrods’ Boxing Day hours:
- Boxing Day: 10 am – 9 pm
- New Year’s Eve: 10 am – 7 pm
- New Year’s Day: 12 pm – 6 pm (Browsing only from 11:30 am to 12 pm)
- Christmas Day: CLOSED
- Regular Hours (most days): 10 am – 9 pm
I felt like a real detective after all that research. I confirmed that Harrods was indeed open on Boxing Day, and I had a pretty good idea of their hours. Now, I just needed to figure out what I was going to buy! Maybe some Christian Louboutin heels or a Chanel bag, if I’m feeling extra fancy.
Anyway, that’s the whole story of how I figured out Harrods’ Boxing Day hours. It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but hey, that’s all part of the fun, right?
