Looking for a relatively inexpensive men's haircut in London.

I don't want to pay £12 for a basic barber, or £35 to go to Toni and Guy, I want that happy medium, to pay around £20-25. Must be in London.
Any suggestions?

Edward Holland at Spitalfields market is good (despite their glitzy new shop it's pretty straightforward) and costs about £20. It's next to the Katmandu place and a cafe under the ABN building just off Brushfield Street on what I think is called Bishop's Square now. It's open every day except Saturday. I've been a satisfied customer for six years and have recomended it to friends in the past.

You could try Hair by Fairy in Covent Garden: shampoo & cut £13 (blow dry is extra - that's how they keep it cheap). I went there once and I was pleased with the results.

I am a girl, but the clientele seemed pretty evenly mixed between genders.

I go to this place in Pimlico. Its great but then I have thick hair and its rare to find someone that knows how to cut it. Anyways, £22 for a haircut and wash.

The barber's shop inside Harrods, Knightsbridge. One of the few parts of Harrods that isn't an abomination. I think it's about £25, although it's been a while.

I work near Pimlico, have thick hair and £22 falls slap bang in the middle of the budget range. You just won.
