Rates, one ladder, read from the top
Seven lengths of evening in whole pounds, identical for every companion on the list and identical in every postcode from Camden Town up to Muswell Hill. Find the line that matches the evening you have in mind, read the four sections underneath it, then write to the desk. Once a booking is confirmed in writing the figure on it does not move.

Pick a length and that is the figure, quoted in the reply and never revisited afterwards. Travelling anywhere inside the northern postcodes is already inside it.

On requestHello, I would like to book [name] on [date] at [time] for [duration]. My address is [street and postcode], and I will confirm the door or room number in writing.
What the figure covers
Her time and her company for the hours written down, and nothing else is offered or sold. Inside those hours the evening is yours to shape: a hotel bar, a walk along the towpath, a concert, a long table, a quiet room. There are no half hour bookings on this site, no extras with prices attached and no supplement for a late hour. One in the morning costs the same as one in the afternoon.
Every companion on the list carries this same ladder. That is deliberate. It keeps the choice about who you would rather spend an evening with, and it means no figure shifts as you move between profiles.
Travel, and where it stops being included
Every district on this site sits inside Zones 1 and 2, and her journey within those zones is already in the figure. That covers the whole of the north postcodes index, from the stations on the Euston Road to the top of the hill in N6.
For an address further out, the desk adds the return fare and gives you one complete figure before you agree to anything, never afterwards. Airport hotels at Heathrow or Gatwick take three hours as a minimum with her travel counted inside them, quoted as a single total once you name the terminal and the building.
How far ahead each line wants to be booked
The shorter lines can often start within the hour, particularly around Finsbury Park and the three stations, where the journey in is simple from almost anywhere. Up the hills it is different, and a few hours of notice buys a companion the bus she wants rather than the one that turns up.
The dinner date works best arranged in the morning. An overnight is easiest the day before, and a weekend is quoted only once the exact dates are in front of us.
Delays, changes and cancelling
Trains slip and meetings overrun, and neither is a crisis. Cancel with three hours or more in hand and nothing is owed. Inside two hours, half the agreed figure falls due, and a booking where nobody appears is owed in full. If you are the one running behind, there is a fifteen minute margin, and past that the start is reset to a new hour rather than quietly running on while you are in a taxi.
Changing the length of a booking on the night is usually possible and always easier when asked early rather than in the last ten minutes.
Settling it
The fee goes to her, in person, when she arrives and before the time starts. It is exactly the total in the desk's confirming message, since there is no late supplement and no district premium on this site, so nothing needs working out on the doorstep.
A booking is confirmed by the desk writing back with the companion, the hour, the length and the total in one message. That message is the agreement, and the booking page sets out the steps around it. Read it through when it arrives: if the hour or the building is wrong, that is the moment to say so, rather than at the door.
Asked at the counter
Why does everybody carry the same figure?
Because one ladder for the whole list keeps the decision about company rather than about price. It also means a figure never changes as you move from one profile to another, which saves a certain kind of conversation nobody enjoys.
Is an hour at midnight more expensive than an hour at six?
No. There is no late supplement and no peak hour on this site. One hour is £250 whenever it happens, and the longer lines behave the same way.
Do you charge for her travel up the hill?
Not within Zones 1 and 2, which covers every district on this site including Highgate and Muswell Hill. Further out, the return fare is added and quoted to you as one figure before you agree.
What is the shortest booking you take?
One hour. There are no half hour bookings here and there never have been, because nothing worth arranging fits inside one, particularly in a part of London where the journey is half the story.
Can I extend on the night?
Usually, and it is far easier if you say so early rather than in the last ten minutes. She will tell you honestly whether the rest of her evening allows it instead of guessing.
How is the fee handed over?
Directly to her, in person, when she arrives at the door and before the clock starts. It is the figure from the desk's confirming message, and it is the same whichever companion you chose and whatever the hour.
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.
