Raven haired: 6 on the board, and the evening each one suits
Six women on this board wear their hair genuinely black rather than at the dark end of brown, and all six wear it long. Five of them wear it straight. It is the list guests most often choose from on looks alone, and also the one where the six temperaments are least alike.
These raven haired escorts in London are spread right across the map, from a W1 courtyard to the docks, so the practical question is usually which of them is nearest to you tonight. The who is free page carries an honest note against each name.

Note 02
The six
Angelika wears hers dead straight and long, is 172 cm and athletic, and looks entirely at home in a room she has never walked into before. She lives in Mayfair, runs most mornings and is punctual to the minute.
Danielle is 170 cm and curvy with long straight black hair and brown eyes, and is unusually good at the beginning of an evening, which is the part most people find difficult. She takes two bookings a week and no more.
Karolina is 174 cm and slim, black haired, and usually the tallest person at the table. She says less than anybody here, dresses in one colour from collar to hem, and will not tell you what she thought of a play until you have told her first.
Milena is 175 cm and curvy, her black hair straight to the middle of her back, and she is the one nobody misses in a lobby. She works the wharf and likes a late table, nine o'clock or after.
Roxi is 168 cm and curvy with long black hair and a wardrobe of strong colours and visible earrings. She sees everything that opens in the West End and wants supper after the curtain rather than before it.
Violetta is 178 cm, tall and slender, her black hair sleek and straight to the small of her back. She is formal for about ten minutes and then not at all, and Belgravia at midnight is her favourite part of any evening.
Note 03
What they have in common, which is less than you think
Height, mostly. Four of the six are 172 cm or over, which puts most of this list into statuesque as well. Three are curvy and two are slim or slender, so the builds are genuinely mixed.
Beyond that the differences are the point. Angelika and Karolina are economical with words. Roxi talks from the taxi to the table and will tell you so herself. Violetta is the most striking arrival on the board and Danielle the most immediately easy. None of that is visible in a photograph.
Note 04
Where they work
Mayfair has Angelika, the West End and the theatres have Roxi, Covent Garden has Karolina, Kensington has Danielle, Canary Wharf has Milena, and Belgravia has Violetta. That is six districts covered by one hair colour, which is a coincidence rather than a plan.
If your hotel is central, three of the six live close by. If you are out at the docks, the office builds the run east into the arrival window rather than pretending the wharf is round the corner.
Note 05
Choosing between them
For an evening with other people in the room, Angelika, Karolina or Milena, all three of whom are composed in company and none of whom will say a word about how the night was arranged. For a late supper after a show, Roxi. For a long quiet evening that ends with a walk through empty squares, Violetta. For the first booking anybody ever makes, Danielle, who is very good at the first ten minutes.
Two names and a date to the office is enough. It will tell you who is in London this week and who is nearest to your hotel.

Say a name and an hour
Write in with a length, a time and the zone you are staying in, and a name from the board comes back with a window attached. That is the whole of the arrangement.
