Green eyes, sun-streaked hair and a standing challenge to race you to the top.
Laura takes same day requests from 12 noon. The climb and a long lunch fit two hours, £500; allow three hours, £700, if you want to wander the lanes after. From Paddington she reaches Bank in under half an hour.

Three hundred and eleven steps do not frighten her. Laura is athletic, 169 cm, with long light brown hair the sun has lightened in streaks and green eyes that catch the light when she laughs. She has the healthy colour of somebody who spends weekends outdoors. Her style is garden-party breezy: a linen dress, flat leather sandals, a straw bag, a cardigan knotted round her shoulders for later.
Adventurous is the right word. She says yes to plans first and asks questions afterwards. She is warm, energetic and genuinely interested in where you have come from and where you are heading next. Conversation is in English, fast and full of stories. Horses are the first love, and any weekend out of town tends to end in a stable yard. She skis every winter and travels through Italy by train whenever a spare week appears, collecting small towns rather than big cities.
An afternoon in the City with Laura might begin at the Monument, the column on Fish Street Hill that marks the Great Fire of 1666. She will suggest climbing its spiral staircase, and she will reach the gallery first, cheerfully out of breath and pointing at the river. Coming down, the streets around Bank are all old churches and narrow lanes, and she knows a few quiet courtyards where a late lunch or an early glass of wine is easy to find. She walks faster than most guests expect and slows down the moment you ask.
She is based in Paddington and answers same day requests from noon. An afternoon around Bank and Monument starts with one line to booking; prices sit on the rates page.
One ladder for every companion on the reel, so Laura's fee is the same figure you see on the rates page. Fees cover time and companionship only.

Hello, I would like to book Laura on [date] at [time] for [duration]. I am staying at [hotel name], and will share the room number on confirmation.
She arrives at one o'clock with trainers in her bag, just in case. After a coffee near Monument station she proposes the climb and does not accept no for an answer. At the top she names every bridge in view and argues for the best one. Back at street level, lunch runs long; she orders for both of you if asked and talks about the Dolomites until the plates are cleared.
Late afternoon she likes to walk: Leadenhall Market with its painted roof, the alleys behind Cornhill, the river path by Old Billingsgate. If the day carries on into evening, she wants somewhere with a terrace facing west, so she can see the light turn amber over the water. She is never the first to suggest going home.
The first gallop of the day. Nobody can talk to you, nothing is urgent, and you come back starving and happy.
Both, in one trip, by train. Mountains at the top, lemons at the bottom, and pasta at every station in between.
Because it is right there, and because a view is better when you have earned it. Also, I like winning, and the stairs are a race.
Same day bookings taken from noon
Confirmed by the desk when you write, never held open in advance.
No guest has left a note about Laura on this site so far. Nothing here is written for effect: when a note appears, it came from someone who booked her.
Notes are published only after a real booking, with a first name and a month, read by the desk first and withdrawn whenever Laura asks.
Area precision only. She travels to you by cab, and inside Zones 1 and 2 the fare is already covered.
Her home district, Paddington, lies beyond the areas on this site, so she crosses town by cab to reach you. Full terms: Rates.
