Escorts in Datchet, SL3: the trip out from town, agreed in writing
Is Datchet a sensible place to end the day when the week's work is in Slough, out at Heathrow or up at Pinewood? The village keeps to its own stretch of the Thames, facing the Home Park of Windsor across the water, while the offices of the Thames Valley line the M4 just to the north and the airport's working side lies to the east. Nobody on the board lives out here, so Datchet escorts always come from town, and what they come out for is the evening after a working day spent somewhere else.

Every name on the board lives in town, so whoever is booked for Datchet travels out to you; the six prints above are a first shortlist for tonight. Any of the twenty eight on the who is free page can be asked for by name instead.
Note 02
The office belt north of the river
The M4 is the spine of the working Thames Valley. Company headquarters and technology firms run west along it from the airport through Slough and Maidenhead towards Reading. The largest single block of it is the Slough Trading Estate, on the north-western side of Slough, laid out after the First World War and still one of the biggest business estates in Europe in the hands of one owner.
Much of the estate's newer building is data centres, long windowless halls that have made Slough one of Europe's largest clusters of them. A visitor on that kind of job spends the day behind security doors across town; Datchet, down by the river, is the change of scene afterwards.
Note 03
Ditton Park, Pinewood and the airport
Closer to the village, between Datchet and Langley, lies Ditton Park, an old manor estate that went to work a century ago and has held company offices in more recent years. North of the motorway, beyond Langley, Pinewood Studios at Iver Heath is where film and television productions are made. East of the village, beyond the M25, Heathrow is as much a workplace as an airport, ringed with airline offices, cargo sheds and engineering hangars. None of them is a place to spend an evening.
Note 04
The evening after the lanyard comes off
A working day out here tends to end at a desk or in a conference room without a window, and what a guest wants afterwards is seldom another table for eight. Datchet is small and quiet after dark, its houses gathered round the green and the Thames along the edge of the village. It suits an evening that begins late and unhurried, whether that is supper and a long conversation or something that runs on into the night.
The board shows who is free tonight and who is away, and the office says which of the companions can make the trip out for the hour you have in mind; who is free shows the faces first.
Note 05
Out from town, in writing first
The companions on the board all live in London, so escorts in Datchet travel out along the same roads and railway lines as the evening commuters; her journey takes longer than the usual hour, more at rush hour, and the chat gives the exact time. Datchet lies beyond central London, so the office sets out the travel and any minimum in writing on WhatsApp before anything is booked, with every length on the rates. Windsor and Eton lie a little upstream on the same stretch of the Thames.
