I've got a Bresser Sprite 10x50 which I got for 43 pounds on the bay. It's relatively chunky though so most of the time touring I carry a "Carson blackwave 10x25" which I got for 16 (again on the bay)
Sometimes you go somewhere and there's nothing worth looking at, so the Bresser feels a bit OTT. The Carson is always fine. I'm no expert on these things but those are what I use.
Barr and Stroud and Celestron also have some decent stuff. I imagine there's not much difference in the market we're looking at, but it's probably worth going for a brand name of some description.
