Crowded scenes as many travelers gather at Harrods for a traditional Easter reunion – following their complaints that the store had refused them entry during Christmas.

Hundreds of gypsies from across Britain dressed up in glamorous outfits yesterday to travel into London and swarm outside of Harrods for a traditional Easter meet up.

There were chaotic scenes as travellers stood near the luxury department store in Knightsbridge when it was already teeming with shoppers. 

Met Police officers stood amongst the densely populated crowds as people were seen trying to nudge through.

TikTok was flooded with clips of the large gathering showing youngsters loitering around and chatting to each other.

Travellers had taken to the social media platform showing themselves getting glammed up in their designer gear and makeup before they made the journey to the capital.

Meanwhile, three young males were seen in one video running away as two police officers chased after them. It is not known if they were part of the group.

The large gathering left some people puzzled, but MailOnline understands the gathering takes place every year.

One local explained on Reddit they ‘have had my doorbell rung quite a few times over the years on weekends by gypsies and even Hyde Park picnickers asking about public toilets’.

‘To say I was bewildered the first time I saw them just congregating outside Harrods would be an understatement,’ they wrote. 

‘I’m not British and I had no idea about the gypsy culture here. All I saw one fine Saturday afternoon were dozens upon dozens of young people decked out in designer clothes (almost all the guys were wearing Canada Goose and the women, identical Louboutin heels).’ 

One female who said she had attended explained the reason behind the meet, but felt ‘there was no point going any more’. 

She said on TikTok: ‘So basically a group of travellers meet up outside the front of Harrods for a chat. Come from god knows where. 

‘Years ago people used to chat, but now people think their own s**t don’t stink and will look you up and down.

‘There’s no point going, no one socialises any more. But yeah, I had a lovely time yesterday because I went with the right company.’ 

It has previously been suggested that the travellers meet up outside of Harrods to find a partner. 

One traveller, named Suzy, opened up on TikTok last year that the community headed to the store and other meet ups, including Thorpe Park, dressed in their ‘skimpiest outfit’ when looking for romance.

‘How to get yourself a traveller man… first you’ve got to go to a meet,’ she said.

‘For example, a lot of travellers have little meeting places.

‘It’ll happen a few times a year… Thorpe Park for Fright Night, standing outside Harrods near Christmas, Winter Wonderland.

‘Those are just a few that’s coming up.

‘Go to one of them places and make sure you’re dressed up to the nines, and I mean dressed up.

‘Your furry sliders out, your fake Louboutins.’

According to The Sun, she advised women to make sure their makeup was ‘heavy’ and ‘eye up the traveller boy, make sure you give him “the look”‘.

Travellers descended on Winter Wonderland in December in what is also fast becoming a tradition for the community and has been dubbed their new ‘Appleby Horse Fair’.

The year before hundreds of clips were uploaded online where Travellers showed themselves getting ready and inside the event, with some even alluding to it being a great place for match-making. 

Influencer Mary Kate Jones uploaded a ‘get ready with me’ video to TikTok where she boasted a full face of makeup and showed off her glamorous outfit sporting items from outlets like Zara and Shein.

But she also bemoaned the treatment her community gets from some establishments. 

Ms Jones claimed: ‘They don’t like us going to pubs or you can’t even go into Harrods – you’ll get stopped on the door. They won’t let you go into Harrods but they’ll let non-Travellers go in. It’s just crazy. So literally we’re chucked out in the cold like dogs.’ 

MailOnline has contacted Harrods and the Met Police for comment.
