Almost every first call ends with questions coming back at you. Who you are, a number that works, where you want to meet. Clients read that as suspicion, which it is not: it is the small amount of information that makes it reasonable for a woman to meet a stranger alone. This guide sets out what London escorts ask for, why, what nobody should ever ask you for, and what stays private afterwards.
Why screening exists
An outcall means going to an address she has never seen, given to her by someone she has never met. An incall means giving that address to him. Both are ordinary working days in this industry and both rest on a few minutes of checking.
Screening is not about judging you. It filters for two things: that you are a real person who will turn up, and that the booking is what you say it is. Time wasters and no shows cost escorts more money than anything else, which is why a vague caller gets less patience than he expects.
What she will usually ask
Expect some of the following, and none of it should feel intrusive.
A first name. Whatever you are happy to be called on the night. Nobody needs your surname.
A working phone number. Often with a quick call back, so she knows the number reaches you. This is the most common check and the easiest one to pass.
Where and when. For a hotel, the name of the hotel and the room number, so she can walk in and go straight up rather than asking at reception. For a private address, the street and the flat. Our guide to incall and outcall covers why this matters more for outcalls.
What the booking is. How long, and roughly what you are looking for. She is not being nosy, she is checking that what you want is something she offers, before either of you spends an hour travelling.
Whether anyone else will be there. Always answer this honestly. An escort arriving to find a second person she was not told about will leave, and she will be right to.
Agencies ask the same things, sometimes a little more formally, and keep a record so a returning client is quicker to book the second time. Our guide on independents and agencies explains the difference in how they work.
What nobody should ask you for
This is the shorter and more important list. A genuine escort or agency in London does not need any of it.
Photographs of your passport or driving licence. Your home address for a hotel booking. Card details, bank transfers to a personal account, or your online banking anything. A deposit paid in gift cards, vouchers, crypto or top up codes. A photograph of your face as proof you are real.
Deposits themselves are not automatically a warning sign. Small ones are normal on a first booking with someone she has not met, on long bookings and travel, or on an unusual request that means turning other work down. What matters is the method and the proportion: a modest amount by a traceable method, discussed openly, is different from a stranger asking for a voucher code before she will say hello. Escort scams sets out the full pattern.
The same rule runs the other way. Nothing on this hub takes a payment, holds a card, or handles a booking. If a page claiming to be us asks you to pay through it, it is not us, and contact is where to tell us.
Making yourself easy to screen
Answer in one message rather than five. Give the name you will use, the number you will answer, the time, the length, and the address or hotel and room. That is the whole thing, and a client who sends it without being chased gets booked ahead of one who does not.
Call from the number you will actually use on the night. Withheld numbers get answered less often, and an escort who cannot reach you when she is downstairs will not stand in the street waiting.
If you need to be discreet at work or at home, say so and agree how she should contact you. That is a normal request and it is easier to arrange in advance than to fix at the door.
What stays private
Discretion is most of the job, and on the escort’s side it is not a favour, it is the reason she has repeat clients. She does not discuss you, she does not keep your details beyond what she needs, and she is not going to acknowledge you in public unless you speak first.
The hub side is simple. We list escorts and agencies. Bookings happen directly between you and them, no payment goes through this site, and we hold nothing about who booked whom. Our privacy page sets out exactly what the site does store. Reviews are the one place a client leaves a trace, and our reviews policy sets out how that works: a person reads every review before it goes live, and the phone number used to confirm the booking was real is never published.
Your side of it matters too. No photographs, no names anywhere, no telling a friend which flat. It is not only courtesy: for many escorts, being identified is a genuine risk, and our guide on the law in the UK explains why the legal picture makes privacy more important, not less.
If something feels wrong
Screening runs both ways, and you are allowed to check too. Ask how long she has been listed, look at the dated badges on her profile, and see whether her details match across the hub. How we verify explains what the badge on a listing means and what it does not.
If a booking feels wrong at any point, before or after the door opens, leave. Losing an hour and a fee is a small price, and no reputable escort will argue with a client who changes his mind. Safety covers the rest.
