They have a great range of perfumes - amongst other things - and the actual pharmacy is great. There used to be one like this in every town a long time ago. It's such a shame that they are nearly all gone now.

A kiosk-sized Boots in the ground-side of the Reading Rail Station, this location is quite small…read morewith a limited selection. However, they've never not had exactly what I wanted and the location is way handy if you're popping off the train, or if you're taking the train somewhere else and you realized when packing that you were out of shaving cream. D'oh! Not just selling meds and suchlike, there is also a cooler of sandwiches and sodas. And a full-service pharmacy, but I can't imagine that in this small space they carry all the usual drugs. Very friendly workers, they've pointed out when I was overpaying and also helped me notice when there is a special, such as a bottle of Vitamin C for £1 when buying cold meds.

I don't envy Superdrug. While someone certainly has to step up and try to compete with Boots, it's…read morea tough job. Superdrug tries, but falls short. I find the shelves too overloaded and the merchandise display to be a bit overwhelming where Boots is a bit wider and cleaner and, perhaps, friendlier. As for the prices, my inexact survey indicated that they were about equivalent. Sorry, Superdrug.

There are also things for the bathroom and house like toasters, sometimes cheap DVD players, and boxes for bathroom storage.

Boots is the pharmacy/health and beauty equivalent of a supermarket. It's got a pharmacy section on…read morethe top floor, with pretty much every medicine you could think of and well-trained staff. The ground floor has health and beauty products ranging from sanitary products to bubble bath to make-up. Pretty much all mainstream brands are in here and Boots own-brand products are often exactly the same as more expensive equivalent brands, but half the price. They do a small range of food and drink for snacks and lunchtime, which tries to be healthy, but is just the same as you can get in most high street shops that are trying to diversify into lunches. Keep an eye out for lunch deals where you can get a sandwich, snack and drink combo deal for a good price.

So off to Boots for some great smelly soap & shampoo - I like their Boots Brand Lilac fragrance the best And while you're there, pick up some water or some fun nail polish, or a 220v hairdryer.... or whatever Boots has it all!
