is chemistry A-level useful to study physics at university?

i'm currently planning on taking maths, further maths, physics and german in sixth form and i'm considering chemistry, but i don't want to run the risk of spreading myself too thin. i do, however, know that it is a very respectable a-level and opens a lot of doors for me, should i decide to steer away from the physics route.

i know that maths and physics are essential and FM is extremely helpful, but any advice on doing chemistry as well? 1) is it relevant or useful at all with physics? are there any areas that traverse, etc? 2) should i take 5 a-levels at all?!
While there is quite a bit of overlap between the two subjects, a chemist would gain more from an A-level in physics than a physicist would from an A-level in chemistry in my opinion. I think that the benefits aren't worth taking on another hard A-level for your situation :nah:
