I too remember Lewis's and being a country bumpkin it was a marvel. There were escalators and Mum would have a firm grip of our hands. The lifts were operated by an attendant. Did he rhyme off what was on each floor?
The basement had a large food hall and the choice quite staggering to me. A firm favourite was the ham on the bone cut to order and of course the biscuits.
There was a bit which sold records and it had booths for listening to your chosen disc before buying. Bought my first LP, Tom Paxton's Ramblin Boy and still have it! Had others given as presents buy something special about buying with your own money.
If memory serves me I think you could buy everything you needed there. Ah memories.
