Official MoneySavingExpert.com InsertA top spot. Visit Father Christmas for free at Harrods from now up until Christmas Eve. There's no obligation to have a photo taken (which you have to pay around £8 for) but you will also receive a free Christmas story book and badge.
Santa's Grotto is open seven days a week throughout Harrods' opening times. See the Harrods Website for directions to get there and opening times.
You can also check Harrods' Top Tips for the best times to visit Santa.
Back to the original post...
Harrods Father Christmas is free (unless you want the photos).
You child will also be given a book - last year it was the story about how reindeer got their horns, and the year before a Percy the Park Keeper story.
Free biscuits and juices in the queue too. Plus the grotto is usually quite good.
My child refused point blank the last 2 years to have his photo taken (he ran for his life the first year - well crawled). I think it is about £10 for the photo but I would imagine no obligation.
Well worth a visit.
Avoid Weekends.

That is good.
It is a nice treat if you are planning to go to London for Christmas shopping, you would expect Harrods to charge quite a hefty amount to see Santa. If only my children weren't now in their teens, I would take them to Harrods LOL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't ever stop believing........

Harrods have had the best Santa and the finest grotto for many many years. I used to take my grandchildren. It has always been free, although the photo made a wonderful memory. the toy department had my grandchildrens' eyes almost popping out in wonder, never seen such toys.0

Just a word of warning - took my son last year & although they gave out free cookies, bottled water and krispy kreme doughnuts in the queue, we gave up after a 3 hour wait & we were only half way there!
Not a fun experience & very difficult for a child to handle.0
