Don’t understand the provider pricing model in London - how is it possible that nearly all providers charge exactly the same per hour rate. Is this the same in other cities? US? 

Britons (and indeed, Europeans) are comparatively less affluent than their American counterparts. A quick glance at the average salary in Britain will illustrate this quite plainly. In fact, our own Prime Minister is so modestly remunerated that he required the generosity of a benefactor ( Lord Ahmed )  to furnish him with suitable attire, including his suits and spectacles.

Were  the gentlemen in question to raise their rates, they would likely find their clientele unwilling—or unable—to meet the cost. Not all patrons hail from the City or the corridors of Westminster. Many travel in from the provinces, from the North and other rather unfortunate locales and earn rather modest pay packets.

That may be true, however, London, for some reason I can't figure out, remains the number two global financial centre and so men with money from all over the world frequent/work in the city. Providers in Manchester or Glasgow may have to be careful their rates but London based providers are working with the richest of the rich.

Many of the Brazilians are managed by someone, who takes a cut.

I had always been under the impression that most of them operate as sole proprietors of sorts—their stated purpose being to “learn English,” though in practice, they seldom seem to attend lessons, nor do they appear particularly troubled by the constraints of their tourist visas. As for the Home Office—does it take much notice? One rather doubts it. Every few months, a fresh wave arrives to replenish those whose time ( and often life)  has since quietly expired.

The ones I have encountered tend to exist in a state of perpetual transit—“travelling,” as they put it—yet they are curiously rooted in single rented rooms around Paddington and King’s Cross.

What never ceases to astonish me, however, is the remarkable ease with which they acquire British bank accounts, seemingly primed to receive bank transfers.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

It didn’t seem to care much in the past, and before Brexit many of those Brazilians had Portuguese passports so they were ok to stay anyway. Things have changed more recently and the government is doing more to find those who are here illegally.

Sorry I can’t help, on seeing the title of this topic, to add my homage to London Calling by The Clash. Here’s London Pricing by The London Masseur. 
 

London pricing  to the faraway clients
Now war is declared, and battle come down

London pricing to the underworld

Come out of the closet, you boys and girly boys

London pricing now don't look too cheap 

Phoney clients have pockets too deep

London pricing, see we ain't got no rock

Except for the ring of that truncheon size cock

(Chorus)

The price age is coming, the fun’s zooming in

Meltdown expected, the lube is growing thin

Engines stop rubbing, but I have no fear

'Cause London is growing, and I live by the Rentmasseur. 

 

London pricing to the client’s moan

Forget it brother, you can wank off alone

London pricing to the zombies of cheap

Quit holding out, in your pocket dig deep

London pricing, and I don't wanna shout

But while we were fucking, I saw you nodding out

London pricing, see we ain't got no sale

Except for that one with a cock like a whale 

 

(Chorus)

The price age is coming, the fun’s zooming in

Engines stop rubbing, the lube is growing thin

A pricing error, but I have no fear

'Cause London is expensive, and I, I live by the Rentmasseur…
