Rates, from one hour at £250 to a weekend arranged on request
Quoted in poundsThis table is the only price list the house keeps. All twenty-eight work to the same whole-pound figures, and what Tamsin confirms in writing is what goes into your companion's hand as she comes through the door.
Below it: the shape of the ladder, what a fee covers, journeys beyond the second zone, and what happens when plans change.
Every figure covers her hours and her company. Travel inside Zones 1 and 2 is included, and the fee is handed to her in person when she arrives.
Send the booking lineHello, 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.
The shape of the ladder
The single hour is deliberately the dearest way to spend time here. Two hours come to £500 rather than twice £250, three hours to £700, and ten hours overnight to £1,800. We would sooner you took the evening you meant to take than spent a shorter one watching a clock.
Nothing is added on top: no late start supplement, no Sunday rate, no short notice charge, no priced extras of any kind. Nor is there a half hour booking, since too little of any evening fits inside one.
What the fee covers
Her hours, counted from her arrival to the minute you agreed, and her company through all of them. Her journey too, anywhere inside the two central fare zones, by day or night; every district on the attendance list sits within them, from Mayfair to Holland Park. Fees here are for time and companionship only. That is not a form of words, it is the whole of what is offered.
It does not cover the evening's own costs. The table, the tickets and the car home fall to you as host, in the ordinary way of inviting somebody out.
Beyond the second zone
A house out past Richmond, a country hotel for a night, an address in the home counties: all can be arranged. Tamsin works out the fare in both directions and sets it next to the fee as one total, which reaches you before anything is settled. Heathrow and Gatwick take bookings of three hours or longer, with her travelling time counted inside the booking rather than charged on top.
When plans change
Give three hours or more and an evening can be moved or dropped with nothing owed. Within the final two hours before she is due, half the agreed fee stands, and if she reaches the door to find nobody there and no message, all of it does. She allows fifteen minutes past the agreed time. If the house has to cancel, you owe nothing and you are told the moment we know.
How the fee is handed over
To your companion herself, as she comes through the door, in the exact figure Tamsin confirmed. It passes from you to her, never through a front desk and never added to a bill. Once it is done neither of you raises it again.
Writing the message
Give Tamsin four things: the date, the hour, one length from the table above, and where you are staying. Add a name from The Hang if you have one, or describe the evening and leave the choice to her. The room number can wait until your companion is confirmed. Back comes the woman's name, her arrival time to the minute, and the fee in pounds. Nothing is settled until you say yes.
Before you write
Because that is what an hour is worth here, including her journey anywhere in the centre and the work of arranging it. It is the same £250 whether you choose a name yourself or leave it to Tamsin, and the same in every district we attend.
Four hours at £900, pitched well under four single hours so that dinner is never rushed. It is the commonest booking made here. You reserve and settle the table yourself, as host, and your companion dresses for whichever room you name.
On request, and only once there is something real to price. Tell Tamsin where, how many nights and what the days are meant to hold, and she comes back with one written total before any room or ticket is reserved.
None at all. There is nothing to add to a booking and nothing priced separately, at any length. The ladder above is complete as printed, and anything that is not on it is not sold here. Fees are for time and companionship only.
Your companion waits fifteen minutes past the agreed time. If it will be longer, write to Tamsin rather than say nothing and she will hold the booking or move it. What she will not do is let an evening start forty minutes late and still finish at the original hour.
Yes, always. There is no loyalty price, no package and no membership in either direction: the second evening costs exactly what the first did. Ask Tamsin to hold a date rather than hope for one.
