Knightsbridge

Knightsbridge is an area, not a bridge. It sits in SW1 and SW7 on the south side of Hyde Park, between Belgravia to the east and South Kensington to the west, and it holds the heaviest concentration of high end companions in London.

Where it is

Brompton Road runs through the middle of it, with Harrods on one side and Harvey Nichols at the Sloane Street end. Knightsbridge station puts you on the Piccadilly line. Hyde Park is directly across the road to the north.

What it costs

From £400 an hour, on a par with Mayfair and for the same reason. This is one of the most expensive residential postcodes in the country and the incall rents reflect it.

The nearby value is Gloucester Road, ten minutes west on the same line, where a comparable hour costs noticeably less.

Who works here

Predominantly East European and Russian companions, which has been true of this postcode for two decades. Expect polished English, expect discretion to be taken seriously, and expect longer bookings to be the norm rather than the exception.

Booking here

Both incall and outcall work well. The hotels along the park take visitors without comment, and the incall flats here are genuinely private buildings rather than anything that announces itself.

The hotels

The park side of Knightsbridge carries some of the best known hotels in London, and outcall to them is entirely routine. Give the hotel and room number on the call rather than the street, which is what she actually needs.

Incall here

Genuine private flats rather than anything that advertises itself, mostly in the streets running south off Brompton Road. Discretion is a function of the buildings rather than a promise anyone has to make.

Worth knowing before you ring

This is the postcode where notice matters most. The established companions here run full diaries and Thursday to Saturday fills days ahead. If you are ringing at nine on a Friday evening, expect to be offered an alternative and expect that alternative to be worth taking.
