What people ask the office before a first booking

It depends on the zone and the name. In the central districts, where most of the board lives, the same evening works more often than not. For a particular companion, a particular table or a theatre night, a day of notice changes everything, and the companions who take only two or three evenings a week fill a week or two ahead.

Usually about an hour after the office confirms, from Mayfair to Kensington on a normal weekday evening. A Friday between six and eight takes longer, and out to the docks or an airport hotel it is well over an hour, which is why the office asks for several hours of notice there. Her exact time is sent in the WhatsApp or Telegram chat when she sets off.

Yes. Every booking on this board is at your hotel, your flat or a private address you name. There is no premises to visit and no address to be given out, and anybody offering you one is not connected to this office. That has been the arrangement since the board started and it is not going to change.

You hand it to her in person when she arrives, for the hours agreed and nothing else. The hours and the figure are the ones set out in your written confirmation, quoted in whole pounds so there is nothing to work out on the night. There is no service charge and nobody is waiting for a tip, and once it is done the subject is closed for the evening.

No. The figure in the written confirmation is the figure, and it does not move at the door or at the end. Running longer is possible when she is free, but it is agreed with the office in writing before the booked hours are up.

Her time and her companionship for the hours booked. That is the whole of it, and it is the same sentence in the footer of every page here. Nothing else is offered, implied or available at any figure. What that time looks like is yours to shape with her: a table, a bar, a theatre, an event where you would rather not arrive alone, or an evening that stays in one room and talks. She is an adult of 18 or over who chooses her own work, and she will say plainly if something is not for her.

No. She arrives as your guest, crosses the lobby like one and goes straight up. No hotel in any zone has an arrangement with this office, nothing is sent ahead and no front desk is asked for anything. If you would rather she did not cross a lobby at all, say so in your message and she will wait downstairs with a book until you come down.

Yes, and in some zones most bookings are at a private door rather than a hotel. The office asks for the flat number and the buzzer if there is one, which saves ten minutes standing on a step. If you would rather meet in the street, say so.

Not within Zones 1 and 2, east or west. What changes with distance is the notice the office asks for. Further out, the fare both ways is worked out and quoted to you as a single figure with the hours, airport hotels start at three hours with the travel inside, and the office confirms the travel and any minimum in writing on WhatsApp before you agree.

Three hours of notice or more and a standard booking is released with nothing owed. Inside two hours, half the figure applies. A booking nobody turns up for is charged in full. There is fifteen minutes of grace on arrival. Moving an evening is easier than cancelling one, so if the night has shifted rather than collapsed, send the new hour and the office will try to rebuild it around her diary.

Yes, and it is sensible if you are in London for a few days. Each evening is confirmed separately in writing, so you always know exactly which hours are held and with whom. Booking the same companion twice in a week is common and she will remember what you told her the first time.

They are of the woman who arrives, and the details on her profile are checked against them rather than written to flatter. Faces are softened for her privacy and nothing else about a frame is altered. The photo policy page explains how the sets are made and what is never done to them.

A first name, the hotel or address and the booking details, for as long as the booking needs them and a short while after. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared and nothing about you is ever put into a web address. The privacy page sets it out item by item.

Neither. Both reach the same office and both get the same answer at the same speed. Use whichever you already have open and whichever you are more comfortable with. If one of them is quiet for an unusual length of time, try the other before assuming you have been ignored.

It will not promise an arrival time it cannot hold, list a companion as available when she is out of the country, or discuss anything beyond time and companionship. It will not claim a partnership with a hotel, because there are none. And it will not book anyone under 18, for any reason, ever.

Tell the office, the same evening if you can. A detail that does not match is a mistake rather than a policy, and it is worth correcting properly. Every companion here can also decline or end a booking, and the office backs that without argument.
