The lineup, every companion on one board

Each card gives four facts at a glance: first name, age, home district and the opening fare of £250. A small tag shows whether she is taking bookings today or away, and her profile names her return date. Tap the card for everything else: height, languages, every fare on the ladder, her closest stations and a booking link already addressed to her.

Above the grid sit three controls. Age band splits the board into early twenties, late twenties and thirties. Hair narrows it to blonde, brunette, raven or auburn. Home district shows who lives nearest, and Laura, Nora and Vanessa all live a few minutes from the Paddington concourse. Nobody is tucked away behind a filter, and a single tap clears each one.

A companion based in Chelsea or Soho still reaches Bayswater or Notting Hill inside the usual hour, and inside Zones 1 and 2 her journey adds nothing to the price. So choose on conversation and chemistry rather than postcode. Every name on the board works to the same ladder, printed in full on the rates page.

When a companion joins, her ID is seen and her photographs are held up against her in person. A picture that drifts from how she looks today is taken off the board. The photo policy walks through that routine one step at a time.

Send the desk your hotel, a start time and a few words about the evening. Inside 10 to 15 minutes, two or three names come back, all free at that hour, and the booking page shows every stop after that.
