Honey blonde, hazel eyes and an armful of dahlias by nine on a Sunday.
A day's notice suits Nora, and arrival evenings are welcome. An overnight at £1,800 on a Saturday lets the morning finish at Columbia Road; for an evening only, champagne and supper sit inside two hours, £500.

Flowers in one hand, a glass in the other, if she can arrange it. Nora is 166 cm, athletic and quick. Her hair is honey blonde and long; her hazel eyes narrow with amusement well before she actually laughs. Her look is sun-warmed resort glamour even in a grey London autumn: a sharply cut dress she has usually altered herself, gold sandals, a bright scarf knotted at the wrist.
Spirited and adventurous, she proposes the detour before anyone else has thought of one, and never wants to be the first to leave. Warmth comes easily to her. She speaks English with enthusiasm and a gift for description. She trained in fashion design and never switched the eye off: seams, cuts, the fall of a fabric, the reason a jacket works or does not. Champagne is her celebration drink, and she considers most days worth celebrating.
Her part of east London is Columbia Road Flower Market, the Sunday street of stalls a short walk from Shoreditch, where traders call out their prices and the pavement disappears under buckets of blooms. A Saturday overnight can end there, with coffee from a hatch, a bunch of whatever is in season and a slow wander through the small shops on either side. On other evenings she is just as happy with champagne at a Shoreditch hotel bar and a late supper nearby.
Nora lives in Paddington. A day's warning suits her, and first nights in London, straight off a plane, are welcome too. Plan a Shoreditch evening or a Sunday morning through booking; the overnight is priced on rates.
One ladder for every companion on the reel, so Nora's fee is the same figure you see on the rates page. Fees cover time and companionship only.

Hello, I would like to book Nora on [date] at [time] for [duration]. I am staying at [hotel name], and will share the room number on confirmation.
Nora likes a plan with a surprise in it. Early evening she arrives with a single flower for your buttonhole, orders champagne without consulting the list and asks what you would design if you could make one thing from scratch. Dinner is somewhere with good light, so she can study the clothes at the next table and tell you, very quietly, what she would change.
If the booking runs overnight into Sunday, the morning belongs to her. Coffee first, then a walk to Columbia Road as the stalls open, where she haggles cheerfully and fills your arms with eucalyptus and dahlias. She finishes with a pastry from a counter on the corner, eaten standing up among the buckets, and declares it the best weekend in London.
A coat that looks good on everyone. It does not exist yet, which is exactly why I want to make it. I have been sketching it for three winters.
Arrivals, departures, Tuesdays. If you need a better reason than that, you are simply not trying hard enough.
The one with the loudest seller. Loud means confident, and confident usually means the flowers are good. Get there before nine, when the buckets are still full.
Best with a day's notice; landing nights fine
Confirmed by the desk when you write, never held open in advance.
No guest has left a note about Nora 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 Nora 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.

The message below opens with her name. Fill in when, for how long and which hotel, then press send; the desk replies with her arrival time.
