Description

Part gentlemen’s club, part speakeasy, Pankhurst London has been deemed ‘London’s most masculine retreat’ by GQ magazine.

The brains and brawn behind this boutique barbershop is Brent Pankhurst who has spent over 20 years in the male grooming industry. With experience at some of London’s most stylish stores, including Dunhill and Nick Tentis, he eventually set up his own business. Pankhurt’s ethos is simple, ‘After your 20s, you should not have a hairstyle – you should have a haircut that, as well as making you look good, makes you feel good.’

Walking in to the barbershop, one is immediately greeted by their signature scent of rum and lime. Down the stairs to the basement reveals a whisky lounge where one can sip on a drink or a coffee and converse with other customers, before relaxing into a handcrafted leather chair, upholstered exclusively at the Bentley works in Crewe.

Hair consultations, cuts and styles are provided by experienced hairdressers, each of whom have been trained by Pankhurst himself. Thereafter, a fresh and clean feel can be expected from a classic shave using Pankhurst’s signature products. Overall the experience will leave one feeling ready to step back into the world looking, and feeling, the part.
