Four blondes, four postcodes
Four women on a roster of twenty eight, which tells you something about the east. This is a part of London that wears dark colours and does not go in for highlights, so the blondes here stand out rather more than they would three miles west, and all four of them are entirely unbothered by that.
They are spread across four different postcodes, which is useful. One in Hackney, one up in Dalston, one beside the park in E8 and one down at the E14 basin, so wherever you are sleeping, one of the four is local to it.
Blondes, on the board
Wavy, and largely left alone
Cindy is blonde, long and wavy, on a slim frame of 168 cm, with blue eyes that hold a look a second past comfortable. She is based in E8 and E9 and dresses the way Hackney dresses, a good coat over something plain. Quiet until she decides otherwise, then very funny indeed, and she is worth a longer booking because she takes a while to show you the good bits.
Golden, and thirty this year
Nancy is the golden one, hair long and holding its colour even under the neon outside the Rio, blue eyes, curvy at 170 cm. She works Dalston and N1, mostly late, and she has the confidence of somebody who stopped auditioning years ago. A serious film habit and the patience for a proper conversation, which makes her the easiest three hours on the board if you like being talked to properly.
Honey, and quick on her feet
Nora is honey blonde with hazel eyes and an athletic 166 cm frame that comes from running the park loop several mornings a week. She is anchored on London Fields and crosses it at a pace that makes you hurry. Straightforward in a way that clears the air early: she says what she thinks and then leaves room for you to disagree, which almost nobody actually does.
Caramel, beside the water
Thea is caramel blonde, curvy at 165 cm, with green eyes that turn grey in flat weather. She is the Limehouse name, knows the tide times better than the train times, and dresses for the wind coming off the basin. Late twenties, warm, and the sort of company that makes three hours feel like ninety minutes. Early evenings and dinners in E14 are her usual work.
What this shortlist does not claim
Colour is described here, not graded. Nobody is on this page because blonde is better than anything else, and none of the four is interchangeable with the other three: one is quiet, one is late, one is quick and one is warm, and that difference matters far more in a room than a hair colour does. Heights are taken standing and without heels, the same as everywhere else on this site.
Where the four also sit
Nancy and Thea are both on curvaceous, Cindy on slim and slender and Nora on toned and athletic. By age, Nancy is on thirties and beyond and Thea on late twenties. Reading this page against a frame page is the quickest route from four names to one.
Holding an hour with one of them
Write to booking with the name, the address and the hour, and Nell confirms in writing with the minute she will be at the door. An hour is £250 and the rest of the ladder is on rates, travel inside it. A dinner suits Thea and Nora, a late night suits Nancy, and Cindy is the overnight.
Other shortlists
The trains stop. We do not.
One message with the date, the time and the postcode, and the rest of the night is arranged quietly, anywhere from Hoxton down to the basin at Limehouse.
