Hi
This one is not bad to start off with
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yongnuo-YN-568EX-II-Master-Speedlite/dp/B00ENFF896
If you don't need has
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...236_SY340_QL65&keywords=canon+flash+speedlite
Both good flashes. I had the yn565 for my Nikon and was happy with it. The only think I did not like is the screw bit to attach to the camera.
I have since bought a Shanny flash and am happy with it. Not sure if they do a Canon version.
If you want to spend less the there is also the neweer ones but not sure on the build quality.

There was a used Jessops 360AFD for sale on here, don't know if it's still available. https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/jessops-360afd-flash.628075/

Yongnuo 568, very capable, popular and proven - and well under your budget https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yongnuo-YN...F8&qid=1467511742&sr=8-1&keywords=yongnuo+568
Or Yongnuo 685 or 600EX-RT if you want radio remote control of multiple units at a later date - basically they're all the same gun underneath. Very little more money, more bulky though.

Absolutely the best basis for later additions.

Welcome to TP
Just to add, the 568 has light-code remote triggering built in, and that is usually fine indoors at close distances, but can be converted to radio remote triggering by attaching a 622 transceiver. Radio is very reliable, especially outdoors at any distance and doesn't need line of sight so can be used inside a softbox, or hidden away behind furnishings
