Brunette is the longest list on the board: fifteen names, from Vanessa's sandy balayage at one end to Stacy's near black at the other, a shade that passes for black under corridor lighting. Fifteen names is a lot to read at midnight, so the desk sets them out the way it sets out its own week, by shift. Each companion below sits in the shift she prefers, which is the quickest route to someone who is genuinely free at the hour you need.
Shifts are habits, not rules. Any of the fifteen can be asked about any hour, and Henrietta will say plainly when the answer is no.
Daytime bookings are rare on the rota, and Lucy likes them; two hours at £500 suits her, and midweek evenings in the City of London are her other favourite. Laura takes same day requests from twelve and can be on the Heathrow train from Paddington within minutes of confirming. Rosa starts from mid afternoon, Sunday to Thursday, and her ideal afternoon runs from Borough Market to a hotel bar near London Bridge.
Sonya keeps the tidiest hours on the rota, five until ten and never later, so a £400 visit of ninety minutes or a £500 one of two hours fits her exactly. Liana prefers a calm weeknight arranged a day ahead, with a dusk walk through Mount Street Gardens before the hotel. Samanta is a dinner companion first; settle the plan before three in the afternoon and she is as composed in a Mayfair dining room as at a City business table. Bianka likes the four hour dinner date too, and prefers to pick the restaurant with you a day ahead. Tiffany is easiest midweek, with one glass near Frith Street before the stroll to your hotel.
Jasmin rarely starts before nine, a neat fit for guests coming out of a theatre. Molly begins at ten and would rather finish late than early, so three hours or a full night suit her better than one. Short notice suits Stacy best, and she will often confirm a same night visit. Tina works evenings and can usually reach a Strand or Aldwych hotel on the night. Michelle keeps most evenings open, and a Knightsbridge hotel is often a same night yes.
Margo books long: £700 for three hours or £1,800 for ten, the plan settled the day before, and single hours almost never. Vanessa handles airports better than anyone on this list. A Heathrow hotel carries the three hour minimum, £700 including her journey out, and jet lag never seems to bother her.
A late landing, a dinner that overran, a plan that changed at eleven: send the hotel and the hour regardless. The desk covers the whole clock, and a name from another shift is often free. For a first booking the plain room visit is the simplest place to start.
Six of the fifteen also stand on the petite list and six on the slim and slender one, with Lucy on both. The rates ladder is the same for every name here, from £250 for the first hour.
Choose from this list by name, or write two lines about the evening, and the desk offers whoever is on shift.
