Incall and Outcall Explained

Two words that decide where a booking happens, what it costs, and how long it takes to arrange.

Incall

You go to her. She hosts, usually in a private flat, and you are given the address once the booking is confirmed rather than beforehand. That is standard practice and not evasiveness.

It is cheaper, because no travel time is wrapped around your hour. The deepest incall clusters are Earls Court, Bayswater and Gloucester Road, which is where the best value in zone one sits.

Outcall

She comes to you, at home or at a hotel. Expect £30 to £60 above the incall rate and a ninety minute minimum.

The reason is time, not greed. A central London crossing at six in the evening is forty minutes each way, so an hour booking costs her nearly three. That has to sit somewhere.

Hotels

Most London hotels are entirely used to visitors. She goes to the room, not the lobby, and gives your room number at the desk if asked. Give the hotel name and room number when you book rather than on arrival, and mention it if the building has a concierge who signs guests in.

Paddington, Park Lane and Lancaster Gate are the densest hotel markets. See the outcall listings for who travels.
