Boots Stores

Small boots but good selection and helpful and friendly staff (compared to my local London one!)

Strange store in a way as the pharmacy and rest of Boots feel like different stores. All staff are good and efficient but there is very little privacy when talking to the pharmacists which can be awkward!

Nice fairly big boots store. As always very polite well presented and helpful staff here it’s got pretty much everything you need (and expect of boots) here. Like DMJ mentioned underneath there isn’t an opticians, however there is in the same street, on the opposite side a little further down.

I needed to re-​stock my supply of Multi-​Vitamins, Vitamin C and Calcium-​Magnesium. I’ve been told that I shouldn’t take these supplements everyday, and should instead focus on getting my nutrients in natural ways, like, say, from eating real food. But since I don’t eat real food and get my daily nutrients from coffee, Red Bull and a Kinder Surprise, I need my vitamin supplements. My boss (who is a little bit of a conspiracy theorist), says that vitamin supplements do nothing, and that it’s all «in the mind». I don’t agree with her because the last time I went to my doctor for a check-​up, he told me I had a clean bill of health. And I’m certain it’s because of the vitamin supplements, and not because of my diet.
Anyway, I got the vitamin supplements I needed here. As it’s a small place, I was able to pick it up quickly. Also, since my throat is starting to become sore, I picked up some cough medicine as well.
In additional to health products, they have a good selection of beauty products. When I run out of face moisturizer and Aveeno lotion, I know where to go.

Although the Boots on George Street is quite a bit smaller than the one on North, it still stocks a wide range of health and beauty products. Actually, one of the areas missing here is the rather annoying set up of make-​over and fragrance ‘experts’ set up near the entrance, so right away I preferred this less-​congested location.
The Health side of the shop includes vitamins, cold and flu fighters, band-​aids and other first aid treatments as well as alternative medicinal therapies. Two pharmacists were on shift at the time of my visit, despite it being quite slow. The Beauty section — separated by a large doorway, almost as though a different shop — has items for hair and skin, bath products, hairdryers, curlers and straighteners, and fragrances.
There’s also a line of baby products, a small snack aisle and a photo section that includes albums, frames and a digital print shop. In summary — smaller, but enough.

A deceptively large branch of Boots on Hove’s main pedestrianised shopping street. It sells the usual large range of pharmaceutical products, cosmetics and toiletries, and there’s a photo shop as well. The pharmacy section can get quite busy, presumably catering to Hove’s large population of pensioners.
It doesn’t have much of a range of electrical goods or an opticians, but these are available in the large city-​centre Brighton branch — reached by the frequent number 7 bus which goes straight there and takes about 10 minutes.
