Beard while buyside recruiting - London

Hey Monkeys,

Title says it all - is it fine to have facial hair while recruiting for buyside roles in London? Or, from risk mangement perspective, you would shave it off? 

Have been carring a beard ever since getting a FT offer, and do not want to get rid off it. At the same time do not want to rub potential interviewers up the wrong way.
