Only slightly set back from the main row of shops but for some reason blink and you might miss it…read more Very helpful staff and a great little range of stock ..... some very suprising and well priced. Feeling unwell, then it's the place to go (don't waste the Docs time if it's only a sniffle). The staff are more than willing to help you out and will advice you what to do if they can't.

I usually visit Lloyds in Abingdon town centre if I have been to the doctors and have a…read moreprescription to collect. They are usually fast, efficient and helpful. They also collect repeat prescriptions from the doctors surgery for you, and will deliver the prescription to you too if you are unable to get out. They sell all the things you would normally expect to find in a chemists, and are always willing to help you find what you are looking for.

Deceptively larger on the inside than it looks on the outside. This is a pretty standard Superdrug…read morebut it is clean and the queues move fairly fast. I've never needed to ask for help in here so I'm not sure what the staff are like but it is always fun to have a poke around it. They have some great deals on fairly regularly and if I was having a kids party I'd definately make this a stop on the circuit.

Abingdon Superdrug sells a very big range of toiletries and cosmetics, hair care products and…read morethings like that. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it tends to be cheaper than Boots for most things. They do sell a small range of medicines (over the counter stuff that you might also find in a supermarket, for the most part) but they don't have a pharmacy.

While this Boots is HUGE compared to Didcot where I often go, it isn't as nice. The place is clean…read moreand as well laid out as something dictated centrally could be but the staff are less than friendly. I cannot see myself going here for anything but something I'm already comfortable with. It's just not the kind of place I've ever gotten help from. Always good for a peek after Christmas though for the sales :-)

Sometimes, only Boots will do and that is why it is handy to have one in the Abingdon precinct,…read morealbeit quite a small one! They have a selection of their products here, inlcuding make-up, bath and body stuff and health products such as medicines. They also have a pharmacy which is handy, especially as Boots pharmacies tend to give the well known brands of medication rather than the cheaper generic versions. So if for example you want a proper ventolin inhalor rather than a generic salbutamol one then you are more likely to get it at Boots than anywhere else! Boots also have a weighing scale which costs about 20p to use and gives you a printed out copy of your weight and BMI. A small shop, but very well laid out and a good variety of products.

This Boots store, located in a retail park, is not as large as it's compatriot in the city centre…read morebut is still well stocked. As it's a bit out of the way, it's an excellent choice to visit for some bargains, especially in the recent Christmas sales, or if you're paying a visit to the nearby Tesco. Parking is easily available outside and the staff are friendly and quick to offer help.

Small chemist with friendly staff and pharmacist. Only…read moredrawback is that sometimes you have to wait quite a long time for your prescription if they are busy.

This chemist/pharmacy is in a very handy place right in the middle of the peachcroft shopping…read morecentre. It does get very busy though, as it serves the whole of the peachcroft estate and surrounding areas. As well as dispensing prescriptions they also offer all the usual pharmacy services such as the facility to speak confidentially to the pharmacist for advice, and a wide range of over the counter medication. They are handy if you run out of toiletries and need something in a hurry, but are quite expensive compared to supermarkets. The staff are usually friendly, and most are helpful although I have come across one or two who cant really be bothered. I have on a couple of occasions been given the wrong medication from a prescription, but I guess this can happen (although it shouldnt!) in all busy pharmacies so I would make sure you check what you are taking!
