The honest answer is that it depends on four things, none of them mysterious: where in London, how long, whether she comes to you, and how established she is. This guide explains what moves the number and what you are actually paying for. For the live figures, the London escort rates page shows what escorts on the hub charge right now, by hour and by area, and it updates as listings change.
What the rate covers
Her time, and the services listed on her profile. That is the whole of it.
Two things follow. What is not on her profile is not included, is not an extra you can buy at the door, and asking is the fastest way to end an hour early. And nothing is owed beyond what was agreed on the phone: the rate is the rate, not an opening position.
Rates are shown on every card on this hub, which is deliberate. You arrive at a profile already knowing the price, so there is nothing to negotiate and nobody wasting anybody’s evening.
What moves the number
Area. The largest single factor. Central London carries the highest rates, and outer London the lowest, which mostly reflects what an incall costs her rather than anything about her.
How long. Longer bookings almost always cost less per hour. Two hours is normally less than two singles, and an evening less again. That is not generosity: one four hour booking costs her one journey, one set of messages and one preparation, where four single hours cost four of each. Half hours work the other way and are priced at more than half for the same reason.
Incall or outcall. Outcall usually costs more, or carries a minimum booking length, because an hour at your place is closer to three hours of her day once travel is counted. Incall and outcall covers the trade in full.
Notice. Same day and late night bookings are worth more than they are often charged, and some escorts price them accordingly.
What kind of booking. A duo is two escorts and priced as such. A couples booking usually carries a little above her standard rate. An overnight is normally a flat figure rather than an hourly one, because it takes the following morning too.
What does not move it: nationality, and age. Rates on this hub track area, experience and length, and a listing anywhere that prices by nationality is telling you something about itself.
What is not in the rate
Everything outside her time. If the evening involves a restaurant, a bar, a club, entry, a table or taxis, those are yours, and they are not a contribution towards her fee. If she is travelling well outside London, expect travel to be discussed separately.
A hotel room is yours too. Our guide to booking at a London hotel covers how those evenings work.
Deposits
Not usual for an ordinary hour, and not a warning sign in themselves. They come up for long bookings, travel, and anything unusual enough that she is turning other work down to hold the slot.
What matters is the size and the method. A modest amount by a traceable method, discussed openly, is normal. A stranger asking for gift cards, vouchers, top up codes or crypto before she will say hello is not taking a deposit, she is running the oldest scam in this market, and escort scams sets out the pattern.
How you pay
Cash, once, at the start, in an envelope, left somewhere visible without an announcement. That is the convention and it exists because it gets the awkward part out of the way in the first minute.
Nothing is ever paid through this hub. We take no booking fees, hold no card details and take no percentage of anybody’s earnings, which is worth knowing because a page claiming to be us and asking you to pay through it is not us.
Tipping is not expected in London. If a booking was good and you want to, put it in the envelope rather than producing it at the end, which lands better than people imagine.
Paying more, and paying less
Paying more generally buys experience, a better incall, more flexibility about time and someone whose diary means she does not need your booking. Whether that is worth it depends entirely on what you want from the hour.
Paying much less than the going rate for the area should make you curious rather than pleased. The listings that undercut everything around them are the ones most likely to be photographs of somebody else, a bait and switch at the door, or a price that changes once you have arrived. If it looks like a bargain in this market, it is usually a different thing being sold.
The safer version of paying less is simply to look further out. Outer London rates are genuinely lower, from escorts who are exactly who they say they are.
Before you book
Agree the total on the phone, including anything extra, and bring that amount. A price introduced for the first time once you are in the room is not a misunderstanding, and leaving is a reasonable response.
