Curvaceous: ten companions, sorted by the bank they head for
Ten companions with a classic, curved silhouette and the confidence to dress for it: tailoring that follows the line, colour worn without apology, heels when the evening asks for them and trainers when it does not. That is all this view records about shape.
The more useful question is direction. The river divides this part of London cleanly, and seven of the ten lean south while three lean north. Start with the bank you are staying on.

South bank: Bermondsey and Borough
Bianka, hazel eyes and light brown hair gilded at the ends, holds out for a pasta table in the old warehouses of Shad Thames and wants a day's warning to get the right one. Rosa, chestnut curls and an easy laugh, prefers the railway arches of Maltby Street on a Sunday afternoon. Thea, caramel blonde and green eyed, likes the galleried coaching inn off Borough High Street, Milena the steakhouse by the market. All four are minutes from a London Bridge lobby.
South bank: Waterloo and the Shard
Luna belongs to the Old Vic from Monday to Thursday, dark auburn red and dressed in emerald. Danielle, low-voiced and unhurried, chooses a late film beneath Waterloo Bridge and walks the embankment afterwards, arguing gently about the ending. Michelle begins on level 31 of the Shard and talks the whole way down in the lift.
North bank: the City and the East End
Nancy, golden blonde and quick to smile, takes a sunset table high above Bishopsgate; for a weekend, ask her by Wednesday. Roxi, long black hair swept to one side, keeps score at a darts bar near Liverpool Street and will propose a rematch. Molly starts at ten in Shoreditch, knows every shortcut east of Old Street, and is still choosing the music at two.
Crossing over
Nobody is fenced in by her side of the water. Once the evening traffic eases, a cab over Tower Bridge or London Bridge takes a few minutes, and a ride to any hotel on either bank is covered while it stays within the first two zones; past them, you hear the cab cost both ways before you agree to anything. The bank is where an evening starts, never a limit on where it can go.
Choosing by the calendar
Luna works Monday to Thursday, Rosa Sunday to Thursday, and Nancy wants Wednesday's warning for a weekend. Molly does not start before ten. Michelle and Milena reply fastest and suit a plan made the same evening. Bianka asks for a day, Danielle prefers later starts, and Thea and Roxi leave town for hills and surf now and then, so their pages carry their dates.
Where the ten also appear
Two are blondes, three are raven haired, Luna is auburn and the other four are brunettes. Michelle and Milena also stand under statuesque. By age, Nancy is the only one in her thirties; the rest divide between the two twenties bands.
The long table
Long dinners suit this view well. Four hours at the table, the dinner date, comes to £900; a single hour is £250, three hours £700, and a night through to breakfast £1,800. Bianka and Milena are the likeliest to take charge of the menu; Rosa and Thea are happiest letting a good market or an old pub decide. Send the name, the bank you are on and the hour, and the reply sets it all down in writing.
