With just one week to grow, London's Mo Bros are out in force. The hairy top-lipped men of Movember - a campaign which hopes to "change the face of men's health" and raise awareness for prostate cancer through moustache growth - have been proudly neglecting their shaving kits to raise a spot of 'tache cash for charity.

But all good things must come to an end, and the month of Movember culminates with hotly anticipated special events. Tonight, Mo Bros dress to suit their 'taches at the London Gala Parté while competing for the titles of Best Mo in Character, Team Mo and the highest accolade, Man of Movember 2011. Tomorrow, Covent Garden marks the starting point for the London Rugby Tweed Run - sponsored by Murdock barbers - which sees 300 dapper chaps taking to their vintage bicycles for a leisurely, slow-motion race through the capital. Finally, there is the Arts Theatre Comedy Gala next Wednesday, presented by Pall Mall Barbers, who hope to raise thousands through ticket sales.

With all manner of men and growing capabilities roaming our streets - from Tom Selleck full bushes to Hulk Hogan horseshoes and several wispy schoolboy sprouts - I went to central London to discuss the growing pains and worth of the newly formed facial hair and whether these Mo Bros will be growing or mowing come December.
