THE luxury retailer, Harrods is just months away from opening its new store in the Metrocentre - and here's what you can expect.
From glitzy decor and premium products to a tantalising champagne bar, the new Harrods H Beauty will open in the Town Square of the Gateshead shopping centre.

According to the retailer, a number of "in-store" services are offered at its sites including "The Playtable" which allows customers to be hands-on and experiment with products.
Meanwhile, the stores all feature "The Skincare Station" which offers treatments including minifacials and bespoke skincare consultations.
"The Mask Bar" is described as being the place for everything you need if you are looking for the perfect face mask.
In addition, all sites include virtual try-on booths and will have a Click and Collect hub for orders made online at harrods.com.
But one of the most exciting features, The Champagne Bar is likely to be a big hit as it has been described eslewhere as the perfect place for a mix of "stunning" eats, treats and cocktails.
With a menu including bakery, patisserie selection, signature cocktail drinks, lunch, sandwhiches and desserts, the eatery has already had rave reviews elsewhere after opening to much success.
What Harrods has said
Annalise Fard, Director of Home and Beauty at Harrods, said: “The incredible response we have had to our first two H beauty store openings not only reflects the ongoing demand for exceptional, high quality retail experiences outside of London, but also the passion for beauty that exists amongst the customers we serve in these regions.”
Although an exact date has not yet been confirmed, excitement has been building with many saying they "can't wait" to be among the first to try out the venue.
On social media, one said: "We're going as soon as the ribbon is cut."
