How the Rates Ladder Works, Hour by Hour

One ladder, no surprises

Every fare across central London comes from a single published ladder, and nothing on top of it is ever offered or priced. Fees are for time and companionship only, whatever the evening turns out to include, and the figure quoted before you confirm is the figure you actually pay. There are no priced extras anywhere on the route, and no version of a booking where the final number differs from the one agreed at the start.

That simplicity is deliberate. A guest booking for the first time should be able to read one page, understand exactly what an evening costs, and never need to ask a follow up question about hidden charges, because there are none to ask about.

The six lengths, plainly listed

One hour begins at £400. Ninety minutes is £600, two hours £750, and three hours £1,050. The four hour dinner date sits at £1,300, and a full ten hour overnight is £2,400. Every one of these figures lives on the rates page alongside the deposit and cancellation terms, so there is never any need to ask what a particular length actually costs before writing to the desk.

The same six figures apply to every companion on the route and every district on our map, from a hotel near Paddington station to a private address in Belgravia. Nothing about where you are staying changes the ladder itself, only the honest estimate of how long her journey to you will take.

Why the hourly rate drops the longer you stay

Look at the ladder closely and a simple pattern appears: each additional hour costs a little less than the one before it. Moving from one hour to two adds £350 for that second hour, moving from two to three adds £300, and the four hour dinner date adds only £250 for its final hour. An overnight takes that logic furthest of all, its extra six hours beyond the dinner date length costing barely a fifth of the first hour's rate apiece. Longer evenings are simply better value per hour, which is worth knowing before assuming a short booking is automatically the cheaper choice for the evening you actually have in mind.

This is not a discount in the usual sense, since nothing is ever marked down or offered as a special deal. It is simply how the ladder was built from the outset, rewarding an evening that runs longer with a gentler rate for every additional hour rather than charging the same amount six times over for six hours.

What the fare always covers, and nothing more

The published figure covers her time and her company for the length you have booked, along with her travel to you anywhere within Zones 1 and 2. It never covers dinner, drinks, show tickets or anything else you might buy together during the evening, exactly as it would not if you were paying for any other guest's company at a restaurant table. Beyond Zone 2, the only addition is an honest taxi quote given before you confirm, never a surprise added afterwards.

There is also no separate charge for the verification step itself, the single WhatsApp exchange that checks your identity and where you are booked in. It exists to protect both sides, not to add anything to the fare, and it takes the same few minutes whichever length of evening you have chosen.

Choosing the length that matches your evening

A hotel visit of one or two hours suits a straightforward evening with no particular plan beyond good company and a relaxed conversation. The four hour dinner date is built for a proper table and the walk either side of it, while a night rider overnight suits an evening you would rather not watch the clock through at all. Working backwards from the shape of your evening, rather than simply picking the shortest option, usually lands on the length that actually suits it best.

If you are genuinely unsure, the desk will happily talk through the shape of your evening and suggest a length rather than leaving you to guess. Guests booking for the first time are encouraged to ask this plainly, since choosing well the first time makes every booking after it considerably easier.

Companions who naturally suit different lengths

Rosa, petite with chestnut curls, keeps her weeknights free particularly for the dinner date booking, at her best over a long table where the conversation has proper room to wander. Milena, statuesque and direct, confirms just as readily for an overnight as for a short evening, equally glad of either the full ten hours or a brisk two.

Neither preference limits what you can actually book. Every companion on the route, whatever length she happens to love most, is available across the whole ladder, from a single hour through to the overnight, on exactly the same published figures.

Weekends, priced on application

A weekend or an extended stay falls outside the standard ladder entirely and earns its own written quote instead, built around the specific dates and plans you describe rather than forced into a fixed figure that would rarely suit two guests the same way. The usual booking verification and deposit terms still apply once that written quote is agreed, exactly as they do for any evening on the standard ladder.
