If you have only ever booked outcall to a hotel, an incall visit can feel like the bigger unknown. It should not. Here is exactly how it goes, from the moment you telephone to the moment you leave.
Getting the address
You telephone, we confirm she is free, and you are given the address once the booking is agreed. Usually that is shortly before the appointment rather than days ahead — not to be awkward, but because plans change and she does not hand her address out speculatively.
You will get a street address and a flat number. If there is a buzzer code or a particular entrance, you will be told.
What the building is like
Almost always a mansion block or a large converted terrace, most often in Earls Court, Gloucester Road or Bayswater. These buildings have dozens of flats and constant footfall, so nobody registers another visitor. There is rarely a concierge. You buzz, you go up, that is it.
Our piece on why apartments cluster in the west explains the pattern if you are curious.
Arriving
- Be on time, not early. Arriving fifteen minutes ahead means standing on the street, which is the one thing worth avoiding.
- Do not telephone from outside unless you cannot find the entrance. Go up and knock.
- Have the fee ready in cash, in an envelope.
The first few minutes
She will offer you a drink and somewhere to put your coat. Leave the envelope somewhere visible — the side table is the convention — and do not count it out. That settles the money in seconds and the rest of the booking is not about money.
Most companions will offer you a shower. Take it. It is normal, it is expected, and towels will be there.
Then you talk for a few minutes. This is not filler; it is how two people who have just met stop being strangers. Rushing past it is the most common first-timer mistake.
What the flat is like
Clean, warm, and set up for the purpose — fresh linen, decent lighting, a bathroom with everything you need. She works there and she keeps it properly. You do not need to bring anything.
Leaving
She will let you know when the time is nearly up rather than watching a clock in front of you. Shower again if you want. Then you leave the way you came.
Incall or outcall?
Incall is roughly £50 an hour cheaper, quicker to arrange, and she controls the setting so it is always properly prepared. Outcall suits you better if you are already settled in a hotel. Our comparison guide covers the trade-offs, and the full rate tables are in the prices guide.
