Harry Gordon Selfridge changed the world of retail forever when he opened Selfridges on London’s Oxford Street in 1909 and, to this day, Selfridges continues to transform the way people shop. From cinemas, Shakespearean theatre and skate bowls, to celebrating new and upcoming artists and designers, to supporting and championing causes that people care about, Selfridges has always been more than the sum of its products.

John Logie Baird made the first public demonstration of moving silhouette images by television from the first floor of Selfridges from 1 to 27 April 1925. [19]
