A ballet trained back, hazel eyes and a preference for the earliest curtain.

Five o'clock is her favourite hour of the day, and she has built a working week around it. Sonya is 162 cm and athletic, holding herself with the straight back of somebody who spent years at a barre and never quite lost the habit. Her dark brown hair is long and straight, her hazel eyes soften the instant she smiles. In her early thirties, she dresses quietly and exactly: navy crepe, a cashmere wrap, small pearls, and one fragrance chosen for the season rather than the occasion.
Calm is the quality and thoughtfulness is how it shows up. She listens without hurrying anybody along and answers the question actually asked rather than the easier one next to it. Her English is measured and clear. Meditation is the morning discipline, unglamorous and non negotiable. Ballet classes continue purely for the pleasure of them. Fragrance is the collection, kept in a cupboard she will describe in detail if you make the mistake of showing the slightest interest.
Her evening suits the early curtain at the Coliseum, the enormous Edwardian house on St Martin's Lane where opera is sung in English and the dome has lately been restored. She likes a glass beforehand rather than an interval scramble, and she likes to be out by half past nine. Supper afterwards is short, calm and close by, and she will walk you back rather than take a cab if the night is dry.
Knightsbridge is home, and Charing Cross fits her window of five until ten almost perfectly. Send the hour to booking and she will take the earlier curtain every time, which is precisely how she prefers it.
Her home stage is Knightsbridge, and she travels from there to the venues this house covers. Her full listing sits with the rest of the company on the companions page.
Her window runs from five until ten, which suits an early curtain and a calm supper afterwards. Three hours at £700 covers a glass beforehand, the performance and the walk back. Your details are confirmed once in the thread, and nothing is asked of you twice.
Each length on the ladder, the travel rule and the terms for a change of plan are set out line by line on the rates page, and the wording to send sits on the booking page.

She would rather be collected at five than at eight, and she is right that the city is better at that hour. A glass somewhere quiet first, no rush at all, and she will ask what you have been doing all day and listen to the answer as though it were interesting, which occasionally makes it so.
At the theatre she is entirely composed and very slightly emotional, which she does not bother hiding. Supper afterwards is small and unhurried and finishes before the late crowd arrives. She likes to walk back whenever the weather allows for it, and she is that rare person who can share a silence for three whole streets without anybody feeling that something has gone quietly wrong.
Because those particular five hours are when I am sharpest, and pretending otherwise at midnight would serve neither of us well.
Classes twice a week, for the pleasure rather than any ambition. It is the only exercise that has never once felt like a chore.
Something suited to the season rather than to the room. I keep far too many, and I could talk about it for longer than you would enjoy.
Sonya is on call today. A window between five and ten Message the desk and we will confirm the hour before anything is held.
No moderated note has been left for Sonya on this site so far. We publish first names, the month and the words themselves, we never invent a line, and we never print anything a companion would rather keep private. When guests do write in, their notes appear here exactly as they arrived.
Each card opens a pass of its own, with the same rail, the same photo call and a message already written in her name.
Tap WhatsApp and a message with Sonya named in it is already waiting. Add the day, the hour, how long you would like her and the house you are staying in, and the desk writes back inside a quarter of an hour with whether she is free.
