The Harrodian School

Formerly the site of Harrods Sports Club, the original premises have been extended and converted for educational purposes.

The Harrodian school was founded by Lady Eliana and Sir Alford Houstoun-Boswall with 65 pupils and 12 staff.

Until 1988, the site had been a clubhouse and sports ground for employees of Harrods department store, and known as the Harrodian Club.

While the store's owner Mohamed Al-Fayed sold the grounds, he was not happy that the school took the name, and in fact, challenged this in court.

[1] Eliana Houstoun-Boswall was the founding headmistress, but in 1996 was left by her husband after her affair with a teacher became public.
