About Us
A local pharmacy, here for the Islington community
Our Story
Essex Pharmacy has been a part of the Islington community for many years, serving local residents from our home on Essex Road. Over the past year, the pharmacy came under new ownership, bringing fresh energy and investment while preserving the trusted, neighbourhood feel that patients have always valued.
We have expanded the range of services we offer, including NHS and private healthcare, while keeping the personal, approachable service that makes a community pharmacy different from anywhere else.
We are proud to be your local pharmacy. Whether you are collecting a prescription, seeking health advice, or booking a vaccination, our team is here to help.

We offer both NHS and private services so that more people can access the care they need conveniently, without long waits or complex referrals.

Good healthcare is built on relationships. We aim to be a pharmacy you return to — one that knows you and your needs over time.
What Our Patients Say
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Patients Say
I had been struggling with low iron for a while, and Aziz recommended iron capsules that specifically support red blood cell production. They worked within just three days and gave me a huge boost of energy. Aziz is always my go-to for vitamins and general advice whenever I'm feeling unwell. She's honest, reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond for her customers. Thank you, Aziz, for all your support and guidance — it's made a real difference.

Excellent pharmacy! The chemist is very knowledgeable and always takes time to explain how to take medication or give helpful tips. Definitely recommended.

I always feel so taken care of by these two lovely ladies. I've had a year of poor health and no matter what the situation they're always so kind and helpful in finding solutions. Very grateful for them!
