Running Overpass Turbo, it seems that they are concentrated in a small area, so

Sorry, but, to me at least, a "chicane" involves a (double) bend.
See: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/chicane

track or a road."
and these seem to involve a narrow "sqeeze", not a double bend.

As Boots' stores don't ALL have a pharmacy counter, IMHO they should be tagged
