Pharmacy in London

Pharmacies in London

London is well served by community pharmacies — major chains and independents across every borough — plus 24-hour and late-opening pharmacies useful in a city that runs around the clock. Online pharmacies also deliver across London. Pharmacists are GPhC-registered healthcare professionals who can do much more than dispense prescriptions.

What your London pharmacy can help with

Pharmacists can advise on minor illnesses and medicines, and under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme can assess and supply treatment for some common conditions without a GP appointment. Many London pharmacies also offer flu and travel vaccinations, blood pressure checks and emergency contraception.

Finding an open pharmacy

Some London pharmacies open late, at weekends or 24 hours — useful when GP surgeries are closed. NHS 111 can direct you to an open pharmacy in an urgent situation. The listings below cover pharmacies across London. This is information only, not medical advice; ask your pharmacist about your specific needs.
