We ended up here a couple times, for deodorant, antiseptic wipes, and other odd toiletries that we thought we were short of at the time. When packing, we seem to worry a lot about missing something, while momentarily forgetting that its usually all available anyway at or near or final destinations. Plus it's kind of cool to explore country-specific brands and unique packaging.

I go to the pharmacy to purchase Solpadeine max for my husband's rheumatoid arthritis. The Indian…read morelady at the counter tells me that he cannot take this for arthritis because it is not approved. She tells me that he can only take paracetamol??! So, if his physician tells him to take this why would a counter person be able to refuse that advice. My husband goes to Boots and purchases the medication and is only told that he should not take it for more than 3 days because it is addictive. So if a Caucasian asks for a medication then there are no questions asked but for a Black person you must be some sort of drug addict. This is egregious. Dr. Mary Ann Jones, San Francisco, CA

If you need a Doctor quickly...this is the place to go...presicriptions filled on site and each visit is around £40 which is much cheaper than most of the other walk in private GP's in London

But it also happens to be a wet shavers emporium. With a fantastic selection of soaps, creams and brushes for London gentlemen to meet their shaving needs. It also sells the best lip balm, second to none. It's my wife favourite. This unassuming yet marvelous business sells its wears all over the world and in some of the finest stores. And the regulars are something to behold.

Although my visit was brief I was struck by the kindly demeanour of the gent who gave me my medicine - a real contrast to many of the doctors, nurses and other medical staff I've encountered since I became ill. When you're coping with poor health, little things like bedside manner make all the difference. But this is all too easily forgotten. So hats off to Kalmak Chemist for their gentle treatment this afternoon.

It's been since childhood since I have scraped the knee that bad. Unlike the USA, here you can get the kind and size of the bandage you want.

It was what pharmacies used to be like in the USA until the big corps took over most of the smaller ones.

The staff of this family run business are also on hand to offer any kind of advice on medical or beauty products that you need. Prices are reasonable for an independant chemist, and the range is impressive enough to rival any larger chain of stores. Opening hours are standard, however it is closed on sundays. It is also conveniently located near to Holborn station, in a busy area of the city.

The room is quite small and located right at the back of the shop, on the same level as the shop floor, so I'm not sure how restful a massage would be, but it was fine for a wax. My therapist was friendly but professional and put me at ease right away. I usually pay less for bikini waxing, but given the fact that it was so close to my office and the results were so good (did I mention PAIN FREE? I'm sitting here in NO PAIN, whereas I'd have tears pooling at the corner of my eyes by mid-afternoon, typically), I'd definitely go back again. The best part? ZERO UPSELLING or lecturing about how my skin is dry etc. etc. In fact, they didn't ONCE mention their products, which actually makes me want to go back to have a look and possibly shop there!
