The Harrods British Eccentrics Garden is inspired by kinetic sculpture from some of the UK’s most imaginative minds. Elaborate machinery performing simple tasks has become associated with Britishness, thanks to the likes of W. Heath Robinson, Rowland Emett and, of course, the founders of Aardman animations.

The scene is also active, entertaining and playful. Every quarter of an hour, the garden engages in a short performance.
