Sixteen questions the day desk actually gets

In writing, on WhatsApp or Telegram. Send the day, the start time, the length and the address, choose a name from the desk or describe the evening, and a reply comes back inside fifteen minutes with a companion, a figure and an arrival time. The full sequence is on booking.

£250, and that is the shortest booking made. Ninety minutes is £400, two hours £500, three hours £700, the four hour dinner date £900 and ten hours overnight £1,800. A weekend is quoted in writing. Every figure and what it covers sits on rates.

Not across Zones 1 and 2, a band that takes in Canary Wharf, the Isle of Dogs, Limehouse, Wapping, the City, Bank, London Bridge, Greenwich and Stratford. Out in E16, at the Royal Docks and City Airport, her taxi both ways is quoted as one figure in the confirming message before you agree.

The whole figure goes to her in person when she arrives, in pounds, exactly as written in your confirmation. What each length covers, and how an extension on the night is priced, is set out on rates.

Forty five minutes to an hour from a confirmed booking across most of the map, plus roughly ten minutes once the last trains have gone, plus a little more for E16. You get a real arrival time rather than a comforting one, and any slip reaches you before you notice it.

A first name, the date, the time, the length and the address. Before she travels, the name your hotel holds the room under, the hotel and the room. At a private address, the building, the floor and the entrance. Nothing else, ever.

Because a woman is about to travel alone to an address she has never seen. One confirmed name and room number is what makes that a sensible thing to do. It is asked once, it takes a single message, and it goes afterwards.

Yes. Every picture on this site is of the woman on that page, taken within the last year. Faces are softened and nothing is explicit. The photo policy describes precisely what is done to an image and what never is.

Anything explicit, anything priced by the item and anything that is not time and companionship. Nobody here is booked to perform, no list of acts exists and no such list will be discussed in a message. A fee buys her time and her company.

Yes, on identical terms and at identical figures. Residential bookings are a large share of what this desk does, particularly on the Isle of Dogs and in Wapping. Give the building, the floor, the entrance and whether a concierge should expect a visitor.

Constantly. Stratford and the Wharf are the easiest to fill at short notice and the outer end of E16 the hardest. If nothing can be arranged for the hour you want, Maude says so rather than holding you on a maybe until it is too late to plan anything else.

With three hours of notice or more, nothing is owed. Inside two hours, half the booked figure. Nobody at the door means the whole of it. She waits fifteen minutes past the agreed start, after which the evening is rebooked rather than shortened.

Yes, where both are free and both agree, and each is booked at her own length and her own figure from the same ladder. There is no combined rate and no discount. Ask early, because two diaries are harder to line up than one.

Nobody hears anything from us. She arrives dressed for the building, asks for you by the name on your reservation and takes a lift like any other guest. This desk never telephones a hotel, never leaves a message at a front desk and never uses a company name in an approach.

Only as long as the booking needs. Room numbers and addresses are cleared once the evening has passed, and nothing about a guest is stored on this website or passed to anybody. Privacy sets out the detail and terms the rest of the arrangement.

Yes, and her page says which languages she actually speaks rather than which ones would sell an evening. English is common to all twenty eight. Say what you need when you write and Maude narrows the board to the names it is true of, which is usually a short list.

Say so immediately rather than sitting through it. If a companion is not the woman in her photographs, that is our failure and we put it right that evening. If the two of you simply do not get on, either side may end it early, and the desk would rather hear that than read a polite review.

The day desk, and the person who answers when you write. She takes the booking, checks availability before offering a name, confirms the figure and tells you when an arrival time moves. About explains how this desk is run and on what terms.
