Current fave on here for that is: http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/hybrid-bikes/carrera-subway-1-mens-hybrid-bike Dead on your budget, but you might get it on one their special offers for a discount.

Cycle Republic are also selling the Carrera subway:

At the moment they've got a Tour de France descending discounts offer going, each day they give a discount code for various bike stuff. From the email I've got it seems Monday is bike discount day:

Might be worth signing up to them, the minimum discount I've seen so far is 10%.

Decathlon. Had no probs with the bikes ive bought.
Amazingly Decathlon don't have a directly comparable model, just the flat bar Triban 500 which only comes with rim brakes:

If you're prepared to put up with that and the skinny tyres it's a good buy.

I've seen the carrera parva too...anyone know if that's any good?
I've got a Carrera Parva http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/hybrid-bikes/carrera-parva-mens-hybrid-bike

The only issues I know about it are:

a) It has to be bought from halfords/cycle republic which don't have the best reputation. I bought it from Cycle Republic but I would take it to my local bike shop if it needed a repair...

b) From my own experience and based on online reviews there's a common problem of the chain coming off the front sprocket (lower side) and jamming between the sprocket and frame

c) it comes with a horrible seat.
