Depends what your expectations are

I'd pick up a dobsonian if I wanted to go sub 100 quid. It'd look good for the moon, jupiter and saturn.

If you want to look at galaxies or deep sky objects you need to manage expectations (they'll look like smudges unless you get into astro imaging) and spend more and have a much bulkier scope.

There's so many options, but if you want something really swanky the cost goes up exponentially (see anything related to optics).

Also get a good star map/guide.
