Just got back on a bike after a few years. Never previously worn a helmet
but having three kids changed my perspective. Anyway in my price range - up
to GBP30 or so - there are a couple of alternatives on offer at the local
store Specialized Chamonix and Met MaxTrack II (I'm sure I could order
another if there is a standout model). One of the reasons I'm asking is that
five years ago 'Which', a consumer magazine in the UK, did a survey of bike
helmets and a majority were not suitable for their intended purpose, ie they
did not adequately protect your head. So what would you recommend as a
suitable helmet for someone commuting 4 or 5 miles a day to work and back on
city roads?

Make sure it's certified and fits your head. If there is more than one
helmet that meets those standards, go for the one with the best
ventillation.
