About Johnston's Chiropodists and Podiatrists

We have been in existence for over 100 years and have been staffed by four generations of chiropodists from the same family. Built in 1888, the building became not just the family business premises but also the family home. Sidney and his wife completed a 3-month chiropody training course in London and started the practice in 1907. In 1920, their daughter, Ethel attended the now extended year chiropody course. After graduation, she took over the practice. In 1950, her daughter, Danae, also joined the practice, having recently qualified from the now 2-year course at the London Foot Hospital. In 1960, Danae’s husband, David, sold his chiropody practice in Edgeware, Middlesex and took over the running of the Luton practice.

Meanwhile, Ethel retired and Robyn (present owner) was born. Danae and David continued to work the practice with the newly qualified Robyn joining them in 1981. The course at the London Foot Hospital was of 3-year duration and the qualification had become equivalent to a degree. Danae and David retired in 1996 and since then Robyn has taken over the family practice with several associates working alongside her. All the staff are HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered. So in January 2022 the family business was sold to Sarah
Norton who is a fantastic Podiatrist and we will continue to offer our full support. Robyn is now happy in her retirement but keeps an active eye on the practice as it is in her interest to make a great success with Sarah in the driving seat. Meanwhile Robyn still owns the building at Upper George Street so care is given to the building.
