Tk max do some good ones, but pin reasonably rarely.

Second hand ones shouldn't necessarily be ruled out. At some of the charity shops in very rich areas you might get a suit of exceptional quality ( thousands or pounds worth) for a fraction of the price. Its amazing the stuff people who can afford to will donate. Still, its been a long time since I have been charity shopping in London, things might have changed!

If you're a regular size, then ebay or charity shops (sometimes new/hardly worn).

If you're an odd/irregular shape then unlikely to find anything there either. e.g. I am petite and require a top that is 2 sizes larger than a bottom half .... so it'd be very very very very very rare to ever find a suit anywhere that fitted and could be deemed cheap. (Which is why I go to interviews in black trousers (Peacocks short leg) and a jacket from a charity shop (petite).... and then whatever charity shop top I can find that fits that week and is season-appropriate (e.g. yellow in summer, cream in winter).

Worth a look in charity shops which often have a facility to try things on (or at least return if not suitable). Many items are in excellent condition and if dry cleaned could pass as new. If you want a cheap suit, this may be a better way to get one which looks half decent - most new cheap suits look just that: cheap!
