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.

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.

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

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.

They offer some really great deals and it has quite a big christmas shop during that festive season! they often have quite a lot of staff on the tills so you're never left waiting for long when purchasing your items. I like the fact that boots are also doing promotional offers whereby they'll give you vouchers if you spend over a certain amount which is an added bonus however, if you're looking for cheap deals then you're best off heading to Superdrug.

In fact that is probably the biggest attraction of this store, it always seems to have a great selection of bargains!

Have a rummage through the wire baskets and you are sure to find a bargain if only several pairs of socks to see you through the year! Staff are not particularly interested in customers except to process them quickly through the till and get onto the next customer, so good if you're shopping in a hurry.
