Longer arrangements: a week of evenings, a weekend, a season
Many guests on this side of London are not here for one night. Some have five days of meetings in the Square Mile, some a conference by the river, and some come back every month to see the same client. For them a single booking is less useful than an arrangement: the same companion across several evenings, planned once and confirmed in writing, so that each night starts without a fresh conversation.
Every evening in a week-long arrangement is priced as its own step: two hours at £500, the dinner date at £900, ten hours overnight at £1,800, whatever that particular evening needs. A whole weekend together is quoted on request, in writing, around your dates. Nothing is bundled, discounted or hidden in a total you cannot read line by line, and the rates page is the reference for every figure.
Chosen for Long stays
The companions the desk puts forward first when this evening is requested. Anyone on the reel may be asked.
A week in the City, evening by evening
An arrangement might look like this: dinner on the Monday near your hotel in the City of London, nothing on Tuesday, two hours on Wednesday after a long day, and an overnight on Thursday before a Friday flight. You send the outline once. The desk confirms each evening with her, sets them all out in one message, and you can move any single evening with the usual three hours of notice without disturbing the rest.
Setting out the arrangement
The first message for a long stay is a little fuller than usual, and it saves several later ones. Include:
Weekends by the river
The City at the weekend is a strange and pleasant place: quiet streets, open tables, hotels half empty. A weekend arrangement makes the most of it, with Saturday at Borough Market and the galleries of Bankside, Sunday morning among the flowers on Columbia Road, and long lunches in between. Weekends need several days of notice and are priced individually, around the hours you want together and the time she keeps for herself.
Apartments, suites and the longer view
Guests staying a week or more often move out of a hotel room into a serviced apartment, and this side of London has plenty of them: along Bishopsgate, in the towers of Aldgate, in converted warehouses on Shad Thames. An apartment with a kitchen and a sitting room suits a long arrangement well, because the evenings feel less like visits and more like time at home. The address is checked once, when the arrangement is first confirmed.
The value of continuity
The real advantage of an arrangement is continuity. By the second evening she knows where you like to eat, how long your days run and when you would rather talk than go out. If you come back to London regularly, ask for her by name each time, and the desk's reply will say plainly whether her diary has room. The desk keeps no notes of its own between trips, so a line reminding it what worked last time is always useful.
Four suited to a longer arrangement
Nancy is golden blonde, blue eyed and cheerful from the first morning swim to the last glass of the night; she likes a weekend to be settled by the Wednesday. Laura loves long journeys and days outdoors and can often start the same day from noon. Margo is still, composed and quietly expert in contemporary art, which is enough to fill a gallery weekend on Bankside. Violetta, 178 cm with sleek black hair, swims in the mornings, lingers in small bookshops and has a humour that improves with every day spent together. Nancy, Margo and Violetta are all in their thirties.
Long stays, answered
No. Each evening is charged at its own line on the ladder, as if you had booked it alone. What an arrangement saves is time, not money.
Yes. Each evening stands on its own, so moving Wednesday to Thursday follows the ordinary terms: free with three hours of notice or more.
No. An arrangement is a series of evenings and, where you book them, nights. Between them she keeps her own time and her own schedule, which is part of what makes each evening feel fresh.
In writing, on request, around the hours you plan together. The desk sends one clear figure for the whole weekend before anything is agreed, and nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Some guests keep one companion for the week, others prefer a different name for the dinner and the overnight. Each evening is confirmed separately, so either works.
