We’re thrilled to bring our impressive new store to the people of Knightsbridge.”

Customers and patients can also make the most of the store’s new dedicated pharmacy and healthcare area that brings together Pharmacy, Boots Opticians and Boots Hearingcare into a simple, convenient and seamless healthcare experience.
