Are any Christmas departments open in London?

Hi, I know in previous years some of the large department stores in London have opened their Christmas departments in June/July.
Does anyone know if there are any open already this year? Google isn't being particularly cooperative!
Thanks

John Lewis made the newspapers last year by opening in late August (accused of stealing a march on competitors by being the earliest ever)

They usually open without fanfare from about September-ish, and gift departments start having some Christmassy things any time from now ownwards, even though decorations won't normally have appeared

Thanks. For some reason I thought I'd read that some opened June/July, or even had an all year round christmas department.

I'm not sure about department stores but iirc there's a Christmas shop near London bridge station in hays Galleria that was always open all year round.

Ignore that , apparently it closed in 2015!

Selfridges have definitely opened theirs in August previously; I’m going next week, so can hopefully report back if it is!

@HappyWipings that's a shame. Sounds like it was a great shop.

@TerritorialPissings thanks. We're actually going tomorrow for a couple of nights. We don't have time to visit all the big stores so just wanted to know if anyone knew of one for sure.
We'll just have to head back closer to Christmas

Liberty used to be early but I think it’s September this year (definitely not there yet)

I always thought Harrods was all year round for some reason??

Have a great time…and yes, definitely a great reason to have to visit again!

Yes, I think Liberty was end of July in previous years.
