Luxury pharmacy's new holistic range

Few pharmacists have a backstory quite as impressive or extensive as John Bell & Croyden. Based on Wigmore Street, the store was founded in 1798 and has held a Royal Warrant as pharmacists to the Queen since 1958 – with several historical artefacts on display for customers to admire. And thanks to a cutting-edge refurbishment, the store is now even more of a health and wellbeing haven, with many innovative services and covetable beauty gifts on offer. No Christmas shopping expedition to the West End would be complete without a visit.

Indeed if you’re out buying gifts for loved ones, you’re more than likely to find plenty of perfect presents among John Bell & Croyden’s beauty and grooming ranges, carefully curated by a team of expert buyers. Delights on offer include an embossed, red leather manicure set from luxury grooming label Czech & Speake, while their gold Mason Pearson hairbrush – covered in bespoke crystals – is sure to win brownie points come Christmas Day. And for those who really deserve a good pampering, the exclusive 001 Supreme Equilibrium Mask is a luxurious, nourishing face mask, rich in precious essential oils and plant extracts.

If you’re struggling with the dark mornings and gloomy nights in the winter season, John Bell & Croyden has recently unveiled a new campaign, ‘Lighten Up London’, showcasing a holistic range of products that will hopefully make this otherwise gloomy winter that little bit brighter. It includes the Withings Aura Complete Sleep System which is programmed to wake you up when you’re in the lighter stages of sleep using special blue light technology, and the Real Luxury Candle by Neom, which contains a mood-boosting scent to lift the spirits as temperatures plummet.

The store’s extensive makeover includes marble flooring and beautiful rose-gold fixtures, making it one of London’s most dazzling and luxurious pharmacies to date. To celebrate, they’ve even enlisted the talents of cult London jeweller Phoebe Coleman, who has designed a special limited-edition ‘wellness pot’. Made from solid silver, it features a delicate cherry blossom design with rose-gold plating – echoing the stunning interiors of the store itself.

Can’t fit a GP appointment into your busy schedule? John Bell & Croyden’s pioneering First Care Walk-In Clinic is a convenient alternative. For £40 per consultation, their pharmacist can assess minor injuries and ailments, as well as administering travel vaccinations and prescribing emergency medication. Customers can also undergo general health and wellbeing check-ups, including for blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and cholesterol.
