The early twenties are a chapter of discovery, and London is a generous city in which to live it. This is when you find the restaurant you will recommend for years, learn which galleries stay open late and quietly decide that one particular bench on the South Bank belongs to you. Ten girls on our route are in this chapter, each verified in person like everyone on the board, and the manner they share is curiosity.
That curiosity makes them wonderful company. They ask good questions, they want to hear what you would recommend, and they are genuinely delighted when an evening turns up something new, whether that is a bar they had not tried or a story they had not heard.
Lea loves theatre, ceramics and interior design from her home in Belgravia, and Luna, in Mayfair, pairs theatre with wine tasting and photography. Tiffany and Stacy both take street photographs, Tiffany around Soho and Stacy out of Chelsea, where she also plans her next snowboarding trip and her next night at a comedy club.
Jasmin dances salsa and creates cocktails in Soho, while Molly, another Soho girl, lives for house music, craft cocktails and vintage cars. Bianka in Knightsbridge is happiest comparing wines, hunting down vintage fashion or cooking something Italian, and Angelika moves happily between morning tennis, contemporary art and late jazz.
Lucy, who lives in Pimlico near Victoria, runs early, loves astronomy and is happy to name the planets over the river on a clear night. Roxi, her Pimlico neighbour, trains at boxing fitness, surfs whenever she can escape to the coast and always has a podcast worth hearing on the ride home. Both are a short walk from Victoria station, which makes Belgravia, Westminster and the hotels around Buckingham Palace Road especially easy for them to reach at short notice.
Girls at this stage are often the ones who suggest the unexpected: a bar that opened last month, a gallery open until ten, a detour across the Hungerford footbridge because the view back towards Westminster is better. That spirit suits the late route night out perfectly. Manners here are exactly what they are on every other page, attentive, discreet and warm, and so are the fares, from £400 for an hour to £750 for two.
There is a practical pleasure in booking from this page, too. These girls tend to know which Soho kitchens have just changed their menus, which rooftop in Covent Garden still has space on a warm evening and which gallery in Mayfair is worth ten minutes before dinner. Tell the desk the kind of night you would enjoy, busy or quiet, music or conversation, and we will suggest the girl whose own diary already looks a little like it.
If you prefer settled routines to new discoveries, the late twenties page gathers fourteen girls with firmly held favourites, and thirties and beyond four women of composed assurance. Many early twenties girls also appear among the curvaceous and petite looks. When one of them feels right, booking takes a single message.
