One ladder, every hour
Every figure this desk works to, from one hour to ten
Published so that nobody has to ask twice. The figures below apply to all twenty eight companions on the desk, on every day of the week, at every hour, in every district we cover.
Choose a length, check the travel line for your postcode and send the booking message. Underneath the table, each rule is set out as it actually works.

One ladder, every companion, every hour of the week. Travel inside Zones 1 and 2 is included, and the fee is handed to your companion in person when she arrives.
No small print at the seam
The figure quoted is the figure for the booking, and it does not move once the desk has confirmed it.
Her time, not a list
You are booking hours of company. What an evening holds is hers to set, and she says so at the start.
Beyond Zone 2
The taxi fare both ways is quoted upfront. Heathrow and Gatwick run to a three hour minimum, travel included.
If the plan changes
Three hours of notice or more and a cancelled booking costs nothing. Inside two hours half the fee stands, and a no show carries all of it. Fifteen minutes grace on the hour.
Adding time
Hours can be added while the booking runs, at the ladder rate. She says whether her night allows it.
Hello, I would like to book [name] on [date] at [time] for [duration]. I am staying at [hotel name], and will share the room number on confirmation.
What the figure covers
Her time, counted from the moment she reaches your door, and her company for every minute of it. That is the whole of it: time and companionship only, which the footer of this site repeats on every page because it is true rather than because it is a formula.
Her travel across Zones 1 and 2 is folded in, and so is the work of this desk, from the first reply to the message saying she has left. Nothing is sold separately, nothing appears at the end of an evening, and no late hour supplement, hotel charge or booking fee is hidden anywhere on this site.
Travel, and the one exception
Canary Wharf, the Isle of Dogs, Limehouse, Wapping, London Bridge, Bank and the wider City all sit in Zones 1 and 2, and Greenwich and Stratford are treated the same way. In every one of them her fare costs you nothing and is never mentioned again.
The Royal Docks, ExCeL and City Airport sit in Zone 3. There her taxi both ways is worked out for the hour and written into the confirming message as one figure. You see it before you agree and it does not change afterwards. A hotel at Heathrow or Gatwick carries a three hour minimum with the drive inside those hours.
When the evening moves
Three hours of notice or more: change or cancel at no cost, whatever the reason. Inside two hours: half the booked figure. Nobody at the door: the whole of it. Those are the only three outcomes and none of them is renegotiated afterwards.
She waits fifteen minutes past the agreed start. Past that the evening is rebooked rather than squeezed into what is left of it. If this desk has to cancel from our side, which is rare, you owe nothing and you hear the moment we know.
Adding time once she is there
Ask before the booked length runs out rather than after it. If her night has room, you pay the difference between the rung you booked and the next one up, so two hours extended to three is the gap between £500 and £700. Nothing is priced by the item, and no companion here shows two different figures.
How the fee is handled
The whole figure goes to her in person when she arrives, in pounds, exactly as written in your confirmation.
That confirmation comes from Maude and carries three things: her name, the minute she will knock and the figure itself. If anything about the evening changes after it is sent, the new detail arrives in the same chat, in writing, so there is always one message to check against. The steps from first message to knock are on booking.
Asked about the ladder
Why is there nothing shorter than an hour?
Because under an hour nobody relaxes, including her. The ladder starts at £250 and no half hour booking exists at any price, on any night, with anyone on the board.
Does a client dinner cost more than a quiet evening upstairs?
No. The length sets the figure and the setting never does. Four hours is £900 whether it is spent at a Leadenhall table or on the thirty eighth floor of a tower.
What will the E16 fare come to?
It depends where her journey starts and how late it is, which is why it is quoted rather than published. It arrives as one figure covering both directions, inside the message that confirms the evening.
Do busy weeks at the exhibition halls push prices up?
No. This ladder is identical during the largest show of the year and on a wet Tuesday in February. Only a weekend is priced separately, and only in writing, around your dates.
Can I book the same companion for two evenings in one week?
Yes, and each is booked as its own length at its own figure. There is no package, no discount and no retainer, which is what keeps the arithmetic on this page honest.
Who receives the figure, and when?
She does, in person, at the moment she arrives. It is the figure written in your confirmation, to the pound, for the length you booked.
Send the room and the hour
Write the district, the time and the length of the booking. The desk answers with a name and an arrival window, and the evening is set.
