Royal pharmacy undergoes total transformation

John Bell & Croyden, one of the oldest and most illustrious pharmacies in Britain, has relaunched following a multi-million pound refurbishment.

Located on Wigmore Street in central London, the Queen's pharmacy, which first opened in 1798, has
reinvented itself as a "one-stop health and well-being emporium".

In keeping with its long tradition of innovation, the new-look business aims to recreate a continental pharmacy experience, offering a vast range of holistic health and well-being services and products under one roof, including access to prescribing pharmacists and other healthcare professionals, including a dental hygienist, osteopath, podiatrist and trichologist. 

At 20 times the size of an average community pharmacy, John Bell & Croyden offers 12,000 product lines and a team of 150 specially trained staff.

The store, which is owned by LloydsPharmacy's parent company Celesio, also offers a skin analysis and recommendation service, as well as a department dedicated to independent living. 

"Our vision was to create a modern and distinctive pharmacy destination, combining technology and innovation to meet the health and wellbeing needs of every Londoner, commuter and visitor," said Cormac Tobin, managing director of Celesio UK. "We want John Bell & Croyden to become central to customers and patients managing their own health and wellbeing – offering an exquisite experience, accentuated with our individual, expert consultations."

Officially re-opening the pharmacy on September 22, actor Richard E Grant described the pharmacy as "a truly British institution, one of London’s best kept secrets and one of the world’s greatest pharmacies."
