A lot of chemists have pretty substantial gift sections, but none I've seen surpass that of The Mill Pharmacy. You could seriously do half your Christmas shopping in here. They sell kitchen gadgets, beauty products, gourmet foods, home wares, candles, toys, clothes, umbrellas, books, and yet still manage to function as a pharmacy as well.
The pharmacists here are very knowledgeable and experienced, thanks in part to being situated in a large medical centre. The same phenomenon, though, means that it can get very busy and the wait for prescriptions can be a while. Their large volume of customers after prescription medicines also means that they run out of things. It doesn't mean you can't get your medicine, just that they have to send someone away to get it from storage or something and that, too, can cause delay.
Although it fulfills its requirements as a pharmacy perfectly well, I more often use The Mill Pharmacy as a place to browse or buy random little things while I'm killing time before an appointment. At least if your script is taking a while there's not shortage of things to look at. read more
