The shop

Old-school chair, honest board.

Under a blue fascia on the Brownhill Road parade — between the yellow-fronted shop and SLE Management — 1st For Choice keeps it traditional: yellow walls, big mirrors, wooden floors and that heavyweight vintage chair doing the talking.

It's open seven days, with late Friday and Saturday hours until 9pm and a short Sunday shift — and one of the clearest price boards in the directory.

Value

A £15 men's cut and a £5 kids shape-up put it among the cheapest chairs in south-east London — the board hasn't hidden a price yet.

Hours

Open every day, until 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and even a short Sunday shift — handy on a parade that mostly shuts early.
