The Best Areas in London for an Evening Out

London is not one city and the part you choose sets the tone of the evening more than almost anything else. This is where our escorts actually are, what each area is like once you get there, and which suits which kind of night.

Mayfair and Bond Street

The obvious answer, and it earns it. Quiet streets, discreet doormen, and more good restaurants within ten minutes than anywhere else in the country. Rates here sit at the top of the range and the flats reflect it.

Best for a dinner date or an evening that starts somewhere and goes on. Worst if you want to arrive unnoticed at eleven on a Saturday, because the whole area is busy and well lit. See who is in Mayfair and Bond Street.

Knightsbridge and Belgravia

Quieter than Mayfair and more residential, with the same standard of address. Stucco terraces and mansion blocks, very little foot traffic after nine, and excellent hotels along the park.

Best for discretion at the top end. Browse Knightsbridge and Belgravia.

Bayswater, Paddington and Lancaster Gate

Where most of the roster actually is, and for good reason. Well connected, full of hotels, and residential enough that nobody is paying attention. Rates sit around the middle and the flats are close to the tube.

Best for a straightforward evening without paying a Mayfair premium, and best of all if you are arriving at Paddington. See Bayswater, Paddington and Lancaster Gate.

Kensington and Earls Court

Handsome, quiet and slightly out of the way, which is the point. Good for a long evening rather than a quick one, and the hotels around Cromwell Road are used to guests coming and going.

Look at High Street Kensington, South Kensington and Earls Court.

Marylebone and Baker Street

Central without being showy. Good restaurants along Marylebone High Street, quiet mansion blocks behind it, and everything within walking distance of two mainline stations.

Best if you want somewhere central that does not feel like the West End. See Marylebone and Baker Street.

Chelsea and Sloane Square

Late and lively rather than quiet. Best if the evening includes a bar or two and you want somewhere to go afterwards. See Chelsea.

If you are staying at a hotel

Outcall to hotels is the most common booking we take, and the area matters less than you would think, because she is coming to you. What matters is whether your hotel is relaxed about guests. Most central ones are and a few of the larger chains are not. Tell us the hotel and we will usually know.

Picking by distance instead

If you already know where you will be, the roster sorts itself. Share your location on the main listing or pick an area from the filter and it reorders to put the closest to you at the top, with the mileage shown on every card. That is usually faster than reading a guide about neighbourhoods.
