I don’t go to Boots the chemist, ever since I read about the company’s clever and legal UK tax dodges, I think the Nottingham company somehow has it’s affairs in Switzerland I have tried to avoid the brand, except when travelling at the airport and support independents instead.

We have two gorgeous pharmacies on St John’s Wood High St, where there is also a Boots.

My favourite is on the corner of Wellington Place and it’s not just an old fashioned chemist with a super kind and helpful pharmacist it is also the kind of chemist ladies used to have to travel to Europe to experience.
