A community pharmacy serving central London, Essential Pharmacy is located in WC2B 5QA and holds GPhC registration number 1041572. It is registered under Pharmartel Limited and passed its most recent GPhC inspection. Community pharmacies of this kind generally handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock a range of over-the-counter medicines and can offer straightforward health advice. That said, what any individual pharmacy provides can differ, so it is sensible to contact Essential Pharmacy directly before heading in. Opening hours and contact details are shown further down this page. On a separate note, it is worth knowing that since 2018 it has been legal for doctors in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through specialist clinics, not regular pharmacies.
