The shop
Front-row on Forest Road.
The whole shop is one big window onto the parade — dark wood stations, the bearded-man logo on the glass, and the A-board out front reading Barbers · Haircut · Shave · Open. Inside, reviewers praise "surgical" cuts, good conversation and short waits; Anour gets thanked by name.
It's open seven days with late finishes — 8:30 pm Monday to Saturday — which makes it one of the easiest drop-ins on this side of Walthamstow.

42 five-star and 5 four-star — against 8 one-star. This shop splits opinion; here's both sides.
"The best barbershop experience I've had in London — fade and beard trim, clean shop, good conversation."
Paraphrased from Google reviews · owner replied with thanks
Friendly staff (14 mentions) leads everything, then haircut (8), barbers (4), attention to detail (2) and fade (2) — the regulars come for the welcome as much as the cut.
Google review themes
The critical side is real: 8 of the 57 reviews are one-star, and a visible two-star review describes a long wait and more taken off than asked for. Peak-time queues get a mention too (2). Go in with clear instructions — and maybe off-peak.
