Boots is perfect for those people that have a phobia of GPs, doctors and hospitals. Not only can you pop in and buy a surplus amount of vitamins, supplements, headache tablets, tinctures and herbal remedies but they have a pharmacist on hand who you can speak to and get impartial advice. There’s no long waits, formal handshakes or complicated forms to fill in, just honest, free advice about the best way to treat whatever symptoms you have. Of course, some pharmacists are more knowledgable than others but the ones I’ve spoken to at this branch are usually friendly and spot on with their advice. If you’re fighting fit, Boots also stocks a good range of beauty and make up products from their own range to more upmarket high street companies like Clarins, Clinique, Lancome and Benefit.
