Information about Boots

Boots is the UK's leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer. Both the high street store and online site offer a complete range of beauty, fragrance, baby, diet, fitness and hair products, and pharmacy services.

Boots on high street

The brand was founded in 1849, so it’s been around for a considerable length of time, always keeping up with the latest health & beauty trends. If you're after something health and beauty related, Boots tends to be the go-to store.

If you're feeling peckish, there's also the famed meal deal on offer at under £4. You get a sandwich (or equivalent), a side and a drink. It offers some pretty good options in comparison to supermarket meal deals, which makes them a student favourite if you're after a quick lunchtime treat.

Boots product examples

You’ll find everything you need at Boots in terms of health and beauty products, including prescription medication, makeup, skincare and toiletries. The brand also offers an excellent range of gifts (especially at Christmas) alongside other items such as photo albums, swimwear and sunglasses.
