Does anyone know if the 'new' sainsburys will have a pharmacy. I am really fed up with the very poor service boots offer. Nothing in stock, forgetting to order your medication, never able to actually serve you or speak to you when to go the counter, unable to give out scripts cos there label printer isn't working-again. The stocks arrived and there is only one person to deal with the new stock and the on-going prescription and customer enquires. When they remodelled they could have done with doubling the size of the pharmcy and getting some pharmacy assistants.

Alan is great. Always a smile on his face and he's very discreet when it comes to 'sensitive' medication.

also the one in Honor Oak Park - actually opposite the medical centre near to Peckham Rye park. Always well stocked.

For those of us on the posh estate, in my opinion, avoid the chemists over the road from Forest Hill Road medical centre and go to the smaller one, towards Peckham, a few doors down. Very traditional family run with lots of trinkets that you think went out of fashion in the 60s (and old wooden shelves to die for)

When the day comes for the South Circular to go along Wood Vale and then snake its bucolic way towards Honor Oak via Forest Hill Road, the posh estate might regain its chemical supremacy over the rest of the neighbourhood. O Happy Day.

Well BD, all I can say is beware of tempting bargains on old wooden shelves. I purchased some Eucryl tooth powder one day from a small chemists in the Colonades on Porchester Road. Sure enough, several years later, my teeth started to fall out.

I'm with Dave - the chemists he mentioned is better than the one opposite the medical centre, which seems to be run by 'Saturday girls' more intent on chatting to each other than serving.
