Seven Boots stores in south London have closed or are about to close their doors permanently this summer.
The high street brand’s parent company Walgreens Boots Alliance said in June 2023 that Boots would be closing 300 pharmacy outlets in the UK within the year.
The Pharmaceutical Journal reports that all those closures will be completed by the end of summer 2024.
Five stores in south London have already closed and two are set to close this summer.
Here's the full list of south London Boots stores that have closed:
2 Station Way, Cheam, Sutton, Surrey, SM3 8SW
370 Middleton Road, Carshalton, Surrey, SM5 1HA
Eothen House, Eothen Close, Off Harestone Hill, Caterham, Surrey, CR3 6JU
1 Central Parade, New Addington, Croydon, Surrey, CR0 0JB
4-5 Coleman House, High Street, Penge, London, SE20 7EX
The following stores are still open, but will close by the end of the summer:
21-23 Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill, London, SE23 3HN
383 Upper Richmond Rd, Putney, London, SW15 5QJ
A spokesperson for Walgreens Boots Alliance previously said: “Evolving the store estate in this way allows Boots to concentrate its team members where they are needed and focus investment more acutely in individual stores with the ambition of consistently delivering an excellent and reliable service in a fresh and up-to-date environment.”
