SHOPS AND SHOPPING

Another feature of London’s shopping life is the chain-stores, in which the goods are displayed on open counters. A wide variety of goods is offered – chiefly foodstuffs, household goods, clothing and stationary. These chain-stores have branches in most British towns.

Chemist’s is a special shop where you can buy not only medicines but also cosmetics, baby products and toilet supplies, such as shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes.

Most of food stores, called supermarkets, operate on the self-service system: you go in, pick up a basket, walk round the shop and choose what you want. At the exit there is a cash-desk where you pay for all your goods together.
