Our Story
We have been established for over 40 years with JC Wise being our first branch. This is where Mr Patel first took over the chemist. Mrs Patel, his wife, looked over day to day runnings of JC Wise, and to this day is still there and a part of the community. Mr Patel worked hard and was a massive part of the area, his vocation was to serve the community and to help support them as best as he could.
He went on to buy Arkle pharmacy from the Mackles family around 20 years ago and it became a massive hub of the community in Archway, where he helped and cared for the diverse demographic. He took pride in his work and cared for each and every one of his patients and made sure they had everything they required.

Unfortunately, he passed away 7 years ago, whereby Hetal Patel took over the chemist and the running of it. She had previous experience in hospital pharmacy and wanted a clinical service-driven community pharmacy.
We have run a lot of clinics at the chemist and 3 years ago acquired Atkins chemist which is now part of the group. We aim to deliver smooth, safe, caring service to our local community in Upper Holloway and pride ourselves on that. Our aim is to bring more clinics to the area, thus making it easier for patients to have access to services not previously found.
