Incall vs Outcall

The short answer

An incall means you go to the lady at her place, and an outcall means she comes to you, usually at your home or hotel. Those are the only two options, and each has its own advantages. Which one suits you depends on where you are staying, how much privacy you have and what sort of evening you have in mind.

With us, each lady's profile lists her rates, and these show whether she offers incall, outcall or both. Prices start from £200 for an incall and from £250 for an outcall.

How an incall works

With an incall, you travel to the lady's location at the agreed time. We arrange the details when you call, so you will know where to go. All you need to do is arrive on time, freshly showered and ready to relax.

This suits people who are out and about in London, and anyone who does not have a private place to meet. If you live with others, have a small flat or simply prefer to keep your home separate from your private life, it is the obvious choice. There is also the benefit that you are stepping into a setting she knows and has prepared, which can make a nervous first timer feel more at ease.

The drawback is that you have to get there and back. London traffic and train delays are not known for their kindness, so allow more time than you think you will need. Planning your route first also helps. Arriving rushed and sweaty is not a great way to start. You will also have to head home afterwards, instead of settling in where you are.

How an outcall works

With an outcall, the lady comes to you. You give us the address when you book, and we arrange the rest. This is popular with visitors staying in hotels, and with people who have a comfortable and private home and do not want to travel anywhere after a long day.

The appeal is obvious: there is no travel, you are on familiar ground, and you can stay put once the time is over. On the other hand, you are responsible for making the place pleasant. This means a tidy room, clean towels and somewhere to sit and talk. It is also worth thinking about neighbours, flatmates and building security, and making sure she can get in easily.

For guests in hotels, our guide to hotel outcalls in London has more detail. Do have the full address and any door or room details ready when you call.

Does the price differ?

Often it does. Outcall rates can differ from incall rates because the lady has to travel to you and give up more of her day. This is why our starting figures are listed separately, and why each lady's profile shows her own rates for each type.

When you call, tell us where you are and we will confirm the price for your particular booking. It is worth asking whether there are any extra costs to think about, such as travel to somewhere further out, so that nothing comes as a surprise. Our guide to escort prices in London looks at this in more detail.

Which should you choose?

Choose an incall if you do not have a private place, would rather not have anyone at your home, or are already out in town near where she is based. It is also a sensible option for a first booking if you think you would feel more comfortable going to her.

Choose an outcall if you are staying in a hotel, have a private home you like, or would rather stay in one place. It is usually the better fit for longer bookings, dinner dates that begin or end at your hotel, and any time when you do not fancy a journey home late at night.

If you still cannot decide, think about what will help you relax most. An evening goes better when you are not checking the time for your last train or worrying about who might knock at the door.

Think about the length of the booking as well. For an hour or so, the time spent travelling can feel like a big part of the outing, so staying close to home or work makes sense. For a longer evening, you might happily combine the two ideas, perhaps meeting for a meal and then going back to your hotel. Parking, last trains and the time of night all deserve a moment of thought too. None of this needs to be settled alone. Tell us what you have in mind when you call, and we can talk through what is possible with the lady you have chosen. It is also fine to try one type first and the other another time.

Good manners in both cases

Whichever you choose, the same courtesies apply. Be clean and on time. Stay reasonably sober. Respect her space if you are visiting her, and make her feel safe and welcome if she is visiting you. The rate pays for her time and companionship, and each lady decides what she is comfortable with. Our guide to escort etiquette goes through all of this, and we are happy to answer any practical questions when you call.
