The Pharmacy was unstaffed, and after waiting for a couple of minutes I just gave up. The store did seem a little understaffed considering how busy it was at a non-peak time. Prices are a little high, but you have to expect that for a travel location. The store was mostly clean and clutter-free, it was easy to get around, but anything other than that would be rather odd for such a small store. 3* - This store is okay, but due to staffing issues, I would only recommend using this branch if you are in a rush ahead of getting a train, if you have more time the other nearby Boots stores including the one in Victoria Place would be much better.

Location: Oxford Street, London, England LAX somehow lost my luggage with all my toiletries and photo op clothes inside! Ugh! Fortunately London is in a First World Country where I can still get my mandatory metrosexual needs. Tbh I never heard about Boots until the English gal at the theatre told me about... Boots is the British version of CVS/Walgreens in America. It's the largest pharmaceutical chain in the UK boosting about 2,500 locations in the UK and elsewhere. Boots dates back to 1849 starting as an herbal medicine shop in Nottingham. The location I visited was located on Oxford Street in Mayfair, London. I walked over... "But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own And in your eyes you're holding mine..." Entering Boots was so familiar. The security up front, cashiers to the side. The pharmacy in the back. I came specifically for - eye contacts solution. Boots had what I needed and more. I was now in search of small scissors that I could transport on a plane. Then I turned and she... "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight..." The young lady, with shades of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, turned to me and asked if I needed help. I told her what I needed and she walked me over to each spot. Scissors, tweezers, deodorant, toothpaste, juicy apple shampoo, and even shortbread fingers! All the while I'm admiring how gorgeous this Boots gal is. Hmm I wonder was she wearing equestrian boots? Did she ride a horse? Would she go out with me to a romantic picnic on the English country side? Barefoot on the glass. Hmm... "Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets To carry love, to carry children of our own..." In the end, Boots had everything I was looking for, sans the Lysol wipes. I did get a generic version at Tesco. Boots, as far as I know had nothing to do with equestrian boots or the like, instead it's named after the founder with a surname of Boot. I admit my fantasies got the best of me oh my! The English gal, the Pharmacy gal, not the theatre gal, who helped me was certainly gorgeous and Brit proper. I hope one day to have kids with her, maybe? "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, w/ you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song I have faith in what I see... Now I know I have met an angel in person And she looks perfect I don't deserve this You look perfect tonight... You look perfect tonight..." https://youtu.be/eiDiKwbGfIY

This is probably the larger Boots on Oxford Street, it shouldn't be confused however with the…read moresmaller branch inside West One Shopping Centre, which is pretty easy to do considering Boots have so many branches on London's flagship and main shopping street. This store opened in 2005, and is Boots' flagship store, I do like the history of the store they have in a wall with photos of the history of the company, Boots and its' other stores on the street and foundation which is pretty cool, although this is something many flagship stores do it is something I like. The basement level has the food and drinks section, for me, this is a waste and should always be on the first floor. Why? People want a grab and go beverage or lunch without messing around, trying to find an escalator or elevator which I had to do, and with only one lift in the store which was rather slow and making strange noises, it wasn't the most pleasant experiences one would associate with a flagship store. The selection of to go food and beverages were surprisingly poor and overpriced, and lacked to even a smaller Boots store, for a flagship store this is far from what one would expect. The staff seemed a little rude and seemed to get in the way more than they did help and I also didn't like the fact that they were constantly announcing a special promotion at the front of the store every two minutes, it was frankly a tacky and repetitive mess. Store size and selection of some items is good and I do like the history of the Boots brand set out in an interactive, colourful and dynamic way however the selection and location of beverages and snacks, issues with the staff, the store feeling tacky, and the basement perhaps needing some TLC as it didn't feel as modern as the rest of the store, and had awful mobile signal and lifts. 2*
