Working as an escort in London can be exciting, but safety should always be the top priority. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, having a clear plan helps you avoid risky situations and enjoy your work without worry.
First thing’s first: know your client before you meet. Ask for a phone number, verify the name, and do a quick Google or social‑media check. A legitimate client will answer basic questions, and any red flags – like vague answers or pressure to skip a call – are worth noting.
Pick a public place for the first encounter. A coffee shop, a hotel lobby, or a well‑lit restaurant works better than a secluded park. Let a friend know where you’re going, who you’re meeting, and the expected return time. A quick text with the client’s name and address can make a big difference if something goes wrong.
Carry a fully charged phone and a portable charger. Save emergency numbers – not just 999, but also a trusted contact who can check in on you. If you have a personal safety app, set it to send an alert if you don’t check in after a set period.
Dress for safety as well as style. Wear shoes you can run in, avoid high heels that could trap you, and keep your purse or bag closed. A small pocket with a pepper spray or personal alarm (where legal) adds an extra layer of protection without looking suspicious.
When you arrive, observe the surroundings. If the venue feels off – dim lighting, empty rooms, strange smells – trust your gut and leave. Keep an eye on the client’s behavior. Respectful, calm, and professional attitudes are good signs; aggression or invasive questions are not.
Set clear boundaries early. Explain what services you offer, the rate, and any limits. If the client pushes beyond those limits, repeat your boundaries firmly and consider ending the meeting. Remember, saying “no” is always okay.
After the session, make a quick note of any odd details – a different car, a new scent, or a conversation that felt off. Share these notes with your network or a safety group. If you felt threatened, report the incident to the police with as much information as possible.
Finally, check in with your friend or trusted contact once you’re safe. A simple "home safe" message caps off the safety cycle and gives you peace of mind.
Staying safe as an escort in London isn’t about fear; it’s about being prepared, aware, and confident. Use these tips, tweak them to fit your style, and you’ll enjoy the city’s hidden charms without compromising your personal safety.
