Petite: seven companions, from teatime to Terminal 2

5pm: early evening in St James's

Sonya, 162 cm with hazel eyes, keeps the earliest hours here, roughly five until ten. Years of ballet training, a daily meditation habit and a shelf of rare perfumes shape her evenings, which often open at Floris on Jermyn Street. Three hours or a four hour dinner date suits her pace.

Daytime or dusk, midweek

Lucy, 163 cm with long dark curls, runs by the river in the morning and can take a daytime booking midweek as easily as an evening one. In the City she leads guests up to the Sky Garden and picks out whichever planets the sky above London lets through. Two hours covers the view and the walk back.

6pm: straight from the office

Tiffany is most available midweek, the moment City hours end. Champagne at the Andaz by Liverpool Street, a photographer's eye on the old stained glass, and every detail of your day remembered. Rosa, 160 cm with chestnut curls, works Sunday to Thursday; she likes a glass under the arcade roof at Leadenhall Market, then a simple dinner where the bread is taken seriously.

7.30pm: the curtain

Lea, 161 cm with auburn waves, is the one to book when there is a theatre ticket involved. Drinks at St Martins Lane, the show, supper after, and a running commentary on the set design at the interval. Midweek pre-theatre evenings are easiest.

Late: after the theatres empty

Jasmin, 160 cm, is happiest when a booking starts late. She dances salsa twice a week, names the notes in a fragrance before you can check the bottle, and orders you something classic at the American Bar in The Savoy. Soho to most West End lobbies is a 30 to 45 minute trip for her.

Terminal 2: Tina

Tina, 158 cm and athletic, is the one name here who favours Heathrow. She sketches clothes constantly, spends Saturday mornings in Soho record shops and likes to be settled at your Bath Road hotel soon after you clear arrivals. Three hours minimum, her travel inside it.

What each slot costs

Three hours of early evening with Sonya is £700. A pre-theatre drink, a show and supper with Lea fits the four hour dinner date at £900. Tina at a Heathrow hotel starts at £700 with her journey counted inside. Nobody on this list costs more for being booked late, at a weekend or at short notice.

If your first choice is already booked, the reply offers the nearest match by hour rather than by look: Jasmin for a late start, Sonya for an early one, Rosa or Tiffany for straight after work. Nothing is swapped without your yes.

Also filed under

Sonya and Tina are toned and athletic, Rosa is curvaceous and Lucy is slim and slender. All but Lea are brunettes. Jasmin and Tiffany share a Soho postcode, which makes them an easy pair for a two companion booking. Choose a start time, then message the desk.
