An evening with two companions carries its own bright energy. The conversation never stalls, the jokes bounce three ways instead of two, and a quiet drink in the hotel bar can turn into the most sociable night of the whole trip. Duo evenings are arranged for exactly that: two London Babes companions, chosen to enjoy one another's company as much as they enjoy yours.
There is no special duo price. Each companion is booked on her own fare from the ordinary ladder, so two hours with two companions is simply two fares of £750, and a dinner date for three is two fares of £1,300. Nothing is added on top, and fees remain for time and companionship only.
The desk often suggests two companions who live near each other, because setting off from the same corner of the map means they arrive together, relaxed and already chatting. Jasmin, Molly and Tiffany all live in Soho, and all three come alive once the West End theatres empty.
Out west, Laura, Nora and Vanessa all call Paddington home, which makes any two of them an easy choice for a hotel near Hyde Park or Lancaster Gate.
Picture three of you at a corner table in the bar at Ham Yard Hotel, cocktails arriving, Molly holding forth on vintage cars while Jasmin debates the garnish with the bartender, both of them charming him completely. Later comes a short walk back through the Soho lanes for a last glass and a little more laughter. A duo evening is sociable before anything else, and it suits birthdays, celebrations, a deal finally signed, or simply a guest who prefers lively company to a quiet evening for two.
Name both companions if you already know, pick one and let the desk find her partner for the night, or simply describe the evening you want and leave the pairing to us. The girls on the route vary widely in style, from petite and quick witted to tall and poised, and a duo often works best when the two contrast a little. Among our brunettes alone there is a pairing for nearly any mood, and the full roster is in the girls.
If you enjoy contrast, a tall companion with sleek dark hair beside a petite one with curls makes a striking pair at any table. If you prefer harmony, two companions who share a passion, cocktails, say, or photography, will have the conversation flowing before the first drink lands.
Send the desk both names, your hotel, the time and the length. Your full name and room number are confirmed once, and a hotel duo evening is then held with 25 percent of the two fares combined, by bank transfer. If both companions are joining you at an event or staying overnight, the deposit is 50 percent. They arrive together, and the balance for both is settled on arrival, in cash or by transfer. Both fares sit on the rates page, and the steps match those on booking.
A duo dinner wants a round table or a corner banquette rather than a long narrow one, so that nobody has to talk across anybody. Reserve for three in your own name and send the desk the restaurant and the time; your two companions will arrive together a few minutes early. In Soho, a curved booth at Dean Street Townhouse suits a party of three beautifully, and in Paddington the terrace restaurants along the canal basin are relaxed enough for a long, noisy, happy supper.
Because two diaries have to line up rather than one, duo evenings are easiest with a few hours of notice, and weekend nights are best requested by midweek. Late duos from Soho are often the simplest of all to arrange, since the girls who live there keep late hours anyway. If the pair you picked first is not free, the desk will say so plainly and suggest two companions who are.
A duo evening is about atmosphere and company, and it is booked on precisely those terms. The two companions are there to share your table, your conversation and your evening. Everything is agreed courteously in the booking chat, and anything beyond time and companionship is never offered and never priced.
No. Each companion keeps her own fare from the standard ladder, so the total is simply two fares added together, quoted to you before you confirm.
They usually travel together, but if one is joining later in the evening, the desk sets out both arrival times in writing.
Yes. Book the four hour dinner date for each companion and reserve a table for three somewhere you like.
The desk tells you straight away and suggests someone who suits the evening just as well. You are free to accept, choose again or cancel at no cost.
Often they do, particularly when they share a neighbourhood, and the desk only pairs companions who are glad to spend an evening together.
Say where tonight finds you and roughly what time, and the desk replies with the names of who can meet you there. WhatsApp or Telegram, answered all night long.
