About. The world's oldest Barber shop has now opened at The Block Arcade. For over two centuries Truefitt & Hill, recognised as the finest traditional gentlemen's barber and perfumer in London, has provided discerning gentlemen with only the finest in grooming products and services.

Truefitt & Hill is the oldest barbershop in the world, as certified by Guinness Book of World Records in April 2000. Truefitt was established in 1805 by William Francis Truefitt, who styled himself as hairdresser to the British Royal Court and the firm received their first Royal Warrant from King George III.

Defining the Mobile Barber Unlike traditional barbers who operate from fixed locations such as barbershops or salons, mobile barbers bring their expertise directly to clients' preferred locations, whether it's their home, office, or any other convenient spot.
