   It's been on Piccadilly 181 for many years.   
      
   When I was there in March, I noticed that the upper floors mainly   
   had housewares and quite a few places where you could drink tea   
   etc, and not so much of thing you might find in more general department   
   stores.   
      
   But I have a recollection of a visit in the 1990s or so, when the   
   upper floors had clothing etc. Which was far less exiting from the   
   ground floor and the basement.   
      
   But, yes, I should have worded the question better with more hints   
   than just "department store".
