Some community pharmacies across London will remain open over the Christmas and New Year period, including the festive bank holidays.
Many common illnesses, such as coughs or colds, can be most easily treated by visiting a pharmacy, where you can get quick, expert advice without the need for an appointment.
Pharmacists are trained medical professionals who can offer advice and over-the-counter treatments for a range of minor illnesses, or direct you to the right person if you need to see a GP, nurse or other healthcare professional.
Below is a list of pharmacies in your area which will be open over the festive period.
There may be others open, which aren't listed – visit www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-pharmacy or call NHS 111 to check the opening hours of pharmacies near you.
