Ted's Holborn barbers stand in the heart of the legal district, among the sharp click of lawyers' heels and the snap of barristers' briefcases. A stone's throw from the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, the Theobalds Road Grooming Room is a traditional barbering service in a contemporary setting, the perfect antidote for sharp minds and tired heads. This is also where Ted first set out to raise the bar on grooming, and these Holborn barbers offer precision haircuts, skin fades, beard work and hot towel shaves in the traditional Turkish style.
Ted's Grooming Room is at 31 Theobalds Road, Holborn, London WC1X 8SP. This location was the site of Ted's first attempts to raise the bar on grooming, making it one of the original Ted's shops.
Holborn station on the Central and Piccadilly lines is the nearest tube. Chancery Lane station on the Central line is also close.

Inside, these Holborn barbers work in the traditional Turkish style. Open seven days a week. Walk-ins are accepted but booking is recommended.
