Toned and athletic, five who move like it
Five women here have athletic written on their profiles, and in every case there is something behind the word: a swim most mornings, a habit of running round a park and holding strong opinions about which gate you ought to come in by, a walking pace that other people end up matching rather than the reverse.
It shows up in patience more than in anything visible. Somebody who trains can sit through the slow half of an evening without reaching for anything, and can walk up a north London hill at midnight without turning it into an event. In a part of the city built on slopes, that is worth rather more than it sounds.
Toned and athletic, panel by panel
The five
Angelika is 172 cm, twenty four, black haired and direct without ever being blunt, and swims most mornings before an evening in Camden Town. Laura is 169 cm and green eyed at twenty five, and knows the park at Finsbury Park better than most people who live beside it.
Nora is 166 cm, honey blonde, twenty six, plain and easy, up in Hampstead. Sonya is 162 cm at thirty two, warm and slightly formal, and works the station district. Tina is 158 cm, twenty six and quick, and is the shortest woman on this site.
Five different evenings
Laura will meet an exact hour exactly and is the easiest name here to arrange at short notice, because two tube lines and a mainline platform all meet where she works. Angelika will steer you onto the canal side of the road on the way back. Nora keeps village hours. Sonya makes a morning departure painless. Tina is decisive in a way that reduces arranging an evening to about four messages.
What the word means on each profile
Angelika swims most mornings. Laura runs, which is how she knows every gate into the park at Finsbury Park and which one you ought to use. Nora swims outdoors all year on the heath and can tell you which pond is which in the dark. Tina walks everywhere quickly and carries more energy than people twice her size. Sonya, the calmest of the five, keeps an unvarying pace that other people end up copying. None of it is a performance, and none of them will turn a walk into a march.
Picking one
For an evening where the walk is the point, Nora on the heath or Laura in the park, and both dress for the path rather than the pavement. For a show, Angelika at the Roundhouse or Tina in the pews of the Union Chapel on Compton Terrace. For somewhere to walk to rather than a show, Sonya's old churchyard behind St Pancras, and then a table close enough to reach on foot.
Colouring splits them widely: Angelika black haired, Nora honey blonde, and the other three in shades of brown from Laura's sun lifted light brown to Tina's espresso. Laura is the one with green eyes, Nora and Sonya have hazel, and Angelika and Tina brown.
The rest of the shelf
Curvaceous and slim and slender run to ten apiece, statuesque to nine and petite to seven, and three of these five turn up in one of those as well. By colouring the five split three to brunettes, one to blondes and one to raven haired. Every name on the list carries the same rates ladder whichever page you found her on.

The sign stays lit
Give the desk an hour and a street, and the rest of the night is arranged quietly, anywhere from the lock at Camden to the Broadway on the ridge.
