That's a v tricky question - it depends so much on what sort of things you want to look at, whether you might want to take photos through it, what sort of light pollution you have, how much space you have to store it...
In London skies, planets and the moon are good targets but the planets are all very low in the sky for a few years yet. If that is what appeals, I would suggest you go for something with long focal length to get high magnification, perhaps a compound (lenses and mirrors in combination) scope which can be v compact, but a bit pricy.

Any recommendations for a budget telescope ? Or where I should be looking for secondhand if that’s a good option? And what I should be looking for?
