How the door takes a booking, entry by entry
There is no form on this site and no account to open. A booking is a conversation on WhatsApp or Telegram with a host who is awake, and it usually takes five minutes from the first line to a confirmed evening.
The sequence below is the whole of it. Everything you send stays inside that conversation, and the rate card holds the figure long before anyone asks you for a penny.

Door procedure
Each step is an entry in the door log. Nothing moves until the host has confirmed it with you, and nothing leaves the conversation.
- [22:40:02]Entry 01
Choose, or describe
Name a lady from the guest list, or sketch the evening and let the host choose for you. Two or three suggestions come back with a reason beside each.
- [22:52:17]Entry 02
Send one message
The date, the hour, how long the evening should run and where you are staying. Three lines is plenty, and the template further down writes them for you.
- [23:04:41]Entry 03
Let the host check
The name you booked under, the hotel, the room number, confirmed once over WhatsApp. A private address is verified instead. It takes a minute, and everyone does it.
- [23:18:09]Entry 04
Hold the evening
Twenty five percent by bank transfer holds a hotel or residence booking. Half is asked for an overnight, an event or a journey out of town, and the share covering travel does not come back.

The knock
She arrives on the minute, dressed for wherever the plan leads. The balance is handed over quietly at the start, cash or transfer, and the evening is yours.
02 · Copy and send
Your first message
The whole booking fits in one line. Copy it, replace the brackets and send. Rates lists every length.
Hello, I would like to book [name] on [date] at [time] for [duration]. I am staying at [hotel name], and will share the room number on confirmation.
Replace each bracket with your own details. The room number waits until the host confirms.

The late booking
Overnights, events and travel bookings. Of that deposit, the travel portion cannot be refunded.
The deposit is the handshake at the door: it keeps her time protected and your name at the top of the list. The balance is settled quietly when she arrives, in cash or by bank transfer carrying a discreet reference.

How long confirmation takes
A host reads every message within ten to fifteen minutes, at teatime or at four in the morning, and the reply carries her name, the length of the evening and the figure. From written confirmation, most bookings in Soho and the neighbouring streets of Carnaby begin inside the hour, and less when the lady is already in the postcode. Friday and Saturday fill early, so an afternoon message protects your first choice.
05 · Booking
What the host will never ask you for
No card number, no photograph of a card, no photograph of a passport or identity document, no gift cards, no vouchers and no cryptocurrency. There is no release fee, no insurance and no charge that appears halfway through a conversation. Account details for a deposit are given only inside the same thread as your booking, and anyone who contacts you otherwise is not this house.
06 · Booking
Private addresses, and arriving discreetly
A residence takes one extra step, a short verification of the address, and after that it is treated exactly like a hotel. Tell the host about the entrance, the buzzer, the concierge or the lift, and she will arrive knowing where to walk and who not to ask. In the narrow streets around the door a cab often stops at the end of the road rather than at the entrance, which tends to suit everyone.
