“One of the best barber shops in Tower Hamlets. They do the best beard trim and razor head shave in the area. Very professional, a proper customised service.”

The shop
Warm light, brass letters and a bit of London
A corner shop on Ben Jonson Road with Edison-bulb lighting, a red phone box in the corner and the barber pole out front.
Photographs from the shop's own Google listing. A few fresh shots of the team at work would be a great addition for launch.
About the shop
A family barbershop for Stepney
Barber's Lane sits on the corner of Ben Jonson Road, run by Gohar & Sons. Inside you'll find warm Edison-bulb lighting, a wall of London, and a chair kept busy from mid-morning to late evening, seven days a week.
The work is traditional and unhurried: skin fades and gentlemen's cuts, beard shaping by trimmer or cut-throat razor, and the hot-towel shave. The diary runs mainly on appointments, so a quick call ahead is the surest way to your slot, especially in the evenings and at weekends.
