Two on the sheet for the same call
A duo means two companions at one evening, arriving together, each booked at her own figure from the rail. Two hours with two women is £500 apiece. There is no package, no discount and nothing bundled, which is worth saying plainly because the market around us is vague about it. What you are paying for is twice as much time and company, and both are confirmed in the same short thread.
The part worth asking the desk about is not the price but the pairing. Two people who are easy together make an evening, and two who have never met make a slightly formal one. There are four or five pairs on this sheet who genuinely enjoy working together, and the desk names those rather than selling you the two most photographed women in the company.
Who suits this call
A shortlist rather than the whole company. If none of these is free on your night, the desk will name three more who carry the same evening just as well.
How a pair gets chosen
Write with two names, or with one name and a request for a suggestion, or with no names at all and a couple of lines about the evening. The desk knows who travels well together and will say so honestly, including when a pairing you have asked for is a poor idea. Both women confirm separately before anything is held, which is why a duo takes a little longer to write than a single booking: usually half an hour rather than the ordinary ten to fifteen minutes.
Pairs the desk suggests first
Nancy and Tina both live inside the postcode, know each other properly, and reach a WC2 door together faster than anyone else on the sheet. Lea and Luna are the auburn pair, one petite at 161 cm and one curvy at 171 cm, and they are the easiest company of the three when an evening has no plan in it whatsoever. Stacy at 176 cm and Michelle at 173 make the tall, composed pair for a formal room.
Where two works, and where it does not
Two companions suit a long table, a night with several stops in it and a suite with somewhere to sit. They suit a standard hotel room considerably less well, and a duo at a formal dinner needs a seating plan that has accounted for it. In Covent Garden the usual shape is a table for three somewhere with a decent room, then back through the Piazza. Around Tottenham Court Road the late rooms are larger and the crowd pays less attention, which some guests prefer.
Why two names need earlier notice
A pair only works when both diaries agree, which makes this the one engagement genuinely worth writing a day ahead. They arrive together, at the same hour, out of the same cab. If one is held up, the desk tells you before either of them leaves rather than after one has already arrived. The booked hours start when the second of them is through the door, which is the fair way to count it and the way it goes onto the sheet.
The honest description of a duo
It is two women booked for the same hours, in company with each other and with you. What happens between adults in a room is their business and is never sold, listed or promised here, and anybody told otherwise elsewhere has been sold something nobody can deliver. The evening is warm, easy and a good deal louder than a single booking, and most guests find afterwards that the conversation was the part they actually remember.
Lengthening it, or ending it early
Extending a duo takes two answers rather than one, so raise it while the evening is still young. Ending early is simpler: the hours you booked are the hours charged, and if you would rather stop at two of the three nobody argues with you. Cancellation runs as it does everywhere else on this site, three hours of notice and nothing owed, though a duo called off at short notice disappoints two diaries rather than one, which is worth a thought.
This evening, answered
No. Each companion is charged at the figure on the rail for the hours you book, so two hours with two is £500 apiece. Nothing is bundled at a discount and nothing is quietly added on either.
Not at all, the choice is entirely yours. The desk simply tells you whether the pair you picked actually know one another and work well as a two, because that difference shows in a room within about ten minutes.
Sometimes, and the desk will know within half an hour rather than ten minutes, since two diaries have to be checked. Written a day ahead, you get the pairing you actually want instead of the one that happens to be free.
Yes, in the same cab, at the time written on the sheet. The hours begin when the second of them is inside, and each figure is settled with the companion it belongs to.
