On the list tonight: escorts in the West End, Haymarket to Regent Street

The West End is the part of London that keeps its lights on out of habit. Shaftesbury Avenue fills and empties twice in an evening, the Haymarket queues form under the porticos, Regent Street curves away in one long lit sweep, and at the bottom of it all the fountains of Trafalgar Square carry on without an audience. W1 and WC2 hold the theatres, the cinemas, the late kitchens and most of the hotel rooms a visitor actually wants.

This page is the umbrella above the smaller doors: the whole quarter from Regent Street to Northumberland Avenue, written for the evening that starts at a curtain or a table and ends in a room. Hotels, stations, timing around a show and the names who are closest when the applause stops are all below. Figures live on the rates page, and the copy and send message waits on the booking page.

Where the quarter begins and ends

No two Londoners draw the same border. For the house it runs from the Quadrant of Regent Street east over Shaftesbury Avenue, down the Haymarket to Pall Mall, along the Strand as far as the Aldwych, and back up Charing Cross Road. Inside that shape sit around forty theatres, the big cinemas, the auction rooms, the National Gallery steps and a dozen hotels with doormen who have seen every possible hour of arrival.

The quarter keeps two clocks. Before eight it belongs to people hurrying to a seat, and the pre theatre menus turn tables at speed. After eleven it belongs to whoever is left: the bars refill, the Chinatown kitchens take their late orders, and the side streets go quiet far faster than visitors expect. A lady who knows the district can put an evening on either clock.

Rooms in the middle of the lights

W1B 4DY sits on the curve of Regent Street with the old gilded room downstairs for a drink before anything else. WC2H 7DX faces Leicester Square, deep and polished, with a green roof above and a cinema of its own below. The house on the Wardour Street corner is the darkest lobby in the quarter and the least remarkable place to cross. WC2R 0EZ stands at the end of the Strand where the cars still turn in on the right. WC2N 4HX keeps its lobby behind coloured glass a minute from the Coliseum, and SW1Y 4AN occupies a former banking hall on Waterloo Place.

We name them as landmarks, never as associates. No hotel in W1 or WC2 has an agreement with the house, and the arrangement is the same in each: your visitor arrives, asks for nothing at the desk and walks to the lift. Serviced apartments off the Aldwych and private flats above Charing Cross Road are visited on identical terms.

Two minutes to the Circus, three to the Square

Piccadilly Circus is the closest station to the middle of the district, about 2 minutes on foot, with the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines. Leicester Square is roughly 3 minutes away on the Northern and Piccadilly lines, and Covent Garden station, Piccadilly line only, is about 6 minutes east through the lanes.

Between ten and eleven those platforms are the busiest in London, which is why ladies often finish the last stretch on foot. It is quicker than a cab on Shaftesbury Avenue at that hour and quieter at the hotel entrance, where no car needs to sit waiting with its engine running.

05 · West End

Booking around a curtain time

Two shapes cover almost every request. The first includes the performance: tell the host the theatre and the time the curtain goes up, book a few hours ahead, and she meets you in the foyer or the bar next door, dressed for the stalls. The four hour dinner date at £900 holds a table, a show and a drink afterwards without anybody watching the time.

The second starts when the show ends. Message during the day or in the interval, name your hotel and an hour, and the reply comes back inside 10 to 15 minutes. From the written yes, give her about an hour, longer when every house on the Avenue empties at once; the chat carries her exact time the moment she leaves. Two hours at £500 or three at £700 suit that half of the evening.

The checks are the same whichever shape you choose: full name, hotel and room confirmed once over WhatsApp or Telegram, then a written reply from the host that fixes the hour, the length and the figure. Travel across Zones 1 and 2 is inside the figure, so nothing is added for the ride.

06 · West End

A theatre night, timed to the minute

18:15, oysters and a glass at J Sheekey in St Martin's Court, where the panelled rooms have been feeding theatre crowds for longer than anyone can remember. 19:30, curtain up, with the interval drinks ordered in advance so neither of you queues. 22:10, out into the crowd on the Avenue and a short walk to the American Bar off the Strand, where the pianist plays until late. 23:30, the room, the window and the second act argued out properly.

Or shift the whole thing later. Supper at the Delaunay on the Aldwych, a nightcap where you are staying, one hour from £250 if all you want is the quiet end of the evening. Booked as an overnight at £1,800 the same night simply keeps going until breakfast.

07 · West End

Who the host suggests when the applause stops

Nobody on the list lives on Shaftesbury Avenue itself, though several keep homes in the streets either side of it. From Soho, Jasmin after nine, Molly from ten onwards and Tiffany on a midweek evening know the late doors best. From Covent Garden, Karolina knows the Coliseum programme by heart, Nancy is warm company for a late supper, and Tina dresses better than most of the stalls.

For a booking that includes the performance, Samanta plays the violin and listens to a score properly, while Luna reads new plays and will have an opinion by the interval. Both come in from Mayfair, across Regent Street. The rest of the guest list covers the quarter on the same terms.

08 · West End

The quarter, door by door

Each corner of the West End has its own page. Soho is the village in the middle, Chinatown the late kitchens below it, Leicester Square the cinemas, Piccadilly Circus the crossing, Carnaby the courtyards to the west and Charing Cross the foot of the whole district. North of Oxford Street, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road mark the boundary where the quarter hands over to the shops.

// FAQ · 5 answers

West End, asked at the door

Short, plain answers. Anything else, the host takes by message at any hour.

Yes. Give the host a few hours notice, name the theatre and the curtain time, and she will meet you in the foyer or the bar beside it. The booking starts at the hour you agree to meet, so the interval and the walk back are part of it.

Usually about an hour from written confirmation, whether or not the lady you chose is already in W1. Between ten and eleven the roads around Shaftesbury Avenue are at their worst and it can take longer, so the host will give you an honest time in the chat rather than a flattering one.

W1B 4DY, WC2H 7DX, the Wardour Street corner, WC2R 0EZ, WC2N 4HX and SW1Y 4AN among many others, plus serviced flats and private addresses. Addresses, not names, are what we print; she simply arrives as your guest.

Four hours at £900 covers a table, a performance and a drink afterwards. Three hours is £700 and two hours £500, with an hour from £250 for the quiet end of the night. Travel in Zones 1 and 2 is already included.

No. A host reads messages at every hour, and the small hours run on exactly the same terms as the early evening. Tell us the hotel and the room, and the answer comes back in minutes.
