Best Barber in London

We know many claim to be the best barber in London, but who really holds that accolade?

Maybe we’re a little biased, but we’ve got lots of reasons to think we are in with a really good chance of claiming that title.. and it’s not just our egos talking.

So what would constitute being the best barber in London? Well, firstly, how about experience, knowledge and expertise?  At Pall Mall Barbers, we’ve definitely got those in bucketfuls.  With 3 barbershops in Central London – Westminster, Trafalgar Square and Fitzrovia, our barbers have over 300 years of collective barbering experience between them, in London, the UK and internationally. We’re often inundated with applicants from fellow barbers wanting the chance to come and work at Pall Mall Barbers, such is our reputation in the industry and amongst our peers.

It’s that reputation that leads to us often being asked for advice, tips or opinions from some of the leading media companies in the UK. We did a live shave off of Tim Lovejoy’s beard on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, one of our barbers had a part shaving Mr Selfridge on the ITV show when an actor couldn’t quite manage the bare blade shave required and the BBC have filmed numerous shows and interviews in our salons whilst the presenter enjoys a luxury wet shave.

We really seem to be the barber of choice for these companies.

And it’s not only filmed media, it’s the printed media too where Pall Mall Barbers are featured – we’ve been written about in Esquire, The Independent, The Telegraph, Men’s Health and even the New York Times, to name just a few. All features that were independently written by journalists and weren’t paid for articles.

Some of the media companies where we’ve been featured:

So the industry, our peers and the media seem to think we’re pretty good but really without customers there wouldn’t be a Pall Mall Barbers. Having recently opened our third barber shop in London, and a fourth on the way, our expansion has been bought about by demand. As we get busier and busier and word seems to spread, we’re looking to open more barber shops to meet our growing numbers of customers.

So, the best barber in London? We think we might just be.  To see what all the fuss is about, why not book an appointment and try us out for yourself? We offer the full range of men’s hairdressing, shaving services and products and you can book online.

Traditional Barber Shop in Central London

Pall Mall Barbers and our traditional barber shop is the star of the show!

At Pall Mall Barbers we’re very proud of our traditional barber shop interior.  All wood paneling, lean over sinks and tiling. Not only is it a nod to the great history of barbering but we also see it as staying true to the integrity of a real barbers environment and reflecting our skills as professionals. If you'd like to see our traditional barber shops in London you'll find details of central London locations by clicking on the links above.

It seems many others think so too. And this is probably why our traditional barbers shops in London are often featured as the backdrop in photo shoots, high profile interviews and filming sequences.  You may have seen us in some leading men’s publications like GQ and on some prime TV programmes, such as Heir Hunters on the BBC.

And it looks like our traditional barber shop in Fitzrovia will be on your screens again soon.  It will be featured as the setting for an interview that took place recently for a programme that will be seen on BBC sometime in the near future.

We’re always surprised at how much work goes into filming a sequence, no matter how short it will finally be.  The team who were setting it up were great and it was really interesting to see what was involved. And we like to think the real star of the show was our lovely London barber shop!

As soon as we know when it will be aired and on which BBC channel, we’ll let you know.
