What's the current standard rate in London?

[seeker630]

I'm trying to line up possibilities while I'm in London next week and have emailed a few guys to check for compatibility. Brett quoted me a rate of £150 for an outcall (no special requests, either). I thought £120 was pretty standard. Anyone with recent information?

 

Thanks.

This is a very vexed question! I'll try to be helpful:

 

1.I would say the standard rates in central London are £90-£100 for an in call (ie you go to the escort) and £120 out (ie he comes to you).

2. Sometimes, the guy also asks you to pay for a taxi if it's late at night - be careful as London taxis are now very expensive at night, and if you agree to this, you should agree a set amount.

3.Overnight rates seem to range between £300-£600.

 

As you may have found elsewhere, the best guys often don't charge the most! I'm not sure why there has been such inflation in rates in London....there are fewer tourists, but there are more guys working.

Check around: use http://www.gaydar.co.uk and pick up QC, a free weekly gay magazine with lots of escort photos - online (I think) at http://www.qcmag.co.uk

Thanks for the insight. I try to stick with guys favorably reviewed here - it's too risky to hire solely on the basis of a print ad, I think. (Although admittedly the reviews only stack the odds in your favor - they don't guarantee a successful encounter.)

 

ANy recommendations for friendly guys with great oral skills - versatile or bottoms - welcome!

You really have to try Arnaud while you are in London. He is currently based here but sometimes out of the country.

Send him an e mail and you will get an early reply.

Highly recomended.

[seeker630]

Thanks, but I met Arnaud in Amsterdam some years ago.

[liubit]

In London, I would highly recommend:

 

- Carlos at Villa Gianni. He is one of the most fantastic bottoms I've ever met, and he is just the sweetest guy.

 

- Ricci form London Lads. Terrific bottom too.

 

- Alex, Greek at Suited and Booted. Wonderful body, AMAZINGLY OUTSTANDING oral talents, great personality.

 

Hope this helps!

I would highly recommend Stanislav or Billy on Londonlads.co.uk. As for Arnaud, I think he is getting a little long in the tooth although his web site has some great pics that are several years old now.

[EXPAT]

I recommend the following:

 

Jas: gaydar.co.uk/hotfunlad (excellent oral bottom)

 

Scott: gaydar.co.uk/pacificstud (excellent bottom)

 

Mark: gaydar.co.uk/markescort (great massage huge dick)

 

Alex: sportm123@aol.com (ALEX # 2 on this site)

 

Jeff

Expat (on here)

 

rates range from 80 - 120. Jas is on the high end of the scale though.

[bootdad]

Expat - your recommendations are excellent - I have enjoyed Jas on several occasions - he is really an outstanding professional, however, he is in Australia until the beginning of January. Your other recommendation Mark is also excellent, great massage, beautiful large (rock hard) cock and an aggressive bottom - my preference. Also-he loves leather / latex / boots / a delightful guy to spend time with.

 

On my most recent trip to London last month - I found the following to all be excellent - highly recommend them if you are into aggressive raunchy bottoms with large cocks -

 

they are all listed on London-Lads -

http://www.london-lads.co.uk/

 

# 271 - Logan - athletic - well hung and loves to get fucked

# 428 - John - a big boy all around, HUGE cock, loves to suck cock, fuck and get rimmed - a real cutie !!!

# 419 - Ryan - reserved but charming and a beautiful tight ass

# 391 - Derrick - recently got into leather, looks great in chaps and boots with his cute butt just waiting for your tongue and then your cock - a real sweet guy - you can't go wrong with him.

 

All four were GREAT - enjoy any one or all of them !!!

Give Mathew of london lads a try..great oral, active, great body.

http://www.london-lads.co.uk/escort/mathew.htm I profiled him a while ago, and met him since. Great biody. He did not have his own place but used a hotel. but it was ok.

p.s. lost my profile so had to get a new one.

[seeker630]

Thanks to everyone for the info.

 

I notice that Jas specifies no one over 30. I realize that ad is nto stricly for his escort services, but still it causes me concerns.

[EXPAT]

That reference from Jas on "no one over 30" is for his personal play time, not for escorting.

[topcat]

The recommendations from Bootdad and Expat are excellent, especially Mark on Gaydar.

 

I had a negative experience with Scott - he's much better-looking in his photo than in the flesh, and the chemistry wasn't there - but he's a nice enough guy. I would add though that it's very difficult to arrange to meet either Jas (away in Australia) or Alex (travels a lot).

 

This is a good thread - may I remind everyone of the subject and ask you to comment on the prices being asked, they do seem to vary a lot and do not relate to quality, in my experience!

[Guest trescho75]

I would add Stephen/Tristan on this site. he is mostly top but also bottoms. Charming and very nice

[seeker630]

Again - thanks to everyone for the input -and keep it coming!

 

Expat - Scott hasn't replied to my email so it may be moot anyway. And why hasn't anyone reviewed Mark? (That was gentle rebuke.)

 

As for Alex 2 - I've tried to meet him previously but he *was* always unavailable.

[EXPAT]

I just submitted a review of Mark (gaydar.co.uk/markescort). He was a recent great find. Scott is also a porn star and VERY passive literally. So I hire him when I really want a passive guy. Alex # 2 does travel a lot, but worth the wait when you can see him.

[Guest Kenguy]

Matt is still by far the best escort in London; he recently put his fee yp to £90. The best value in town - and as for him, just take a look at his web-site and reviews, everyone of them in my experience is true!

[seeker630]

Too many Marks!

 

EXPAT, did your review of this guy ever post? There's a review of Alex #8 by you under 'Mark #6' in London but it seems to be a different guy. ALthough the pic is of http://www.gaydar.co.uk/markescort, the review(s) seem to be of http://gaydar.co.uk/fit_guy4rent.

 

I hired what I thought was the guy you recommended - shaved head, Eastern European. http://www.gaydar.co.uk/markescort

 

I'm writing a review but wanted to get the names straight. (btw - he charged £150 - maybe because it was 11 pm - and was gone in 40 minutes.)

[EXPAT]

RE: Too many Marks!

 

You got the right guy. I have actually seen both of them. But I can't keep the Mark's #### straight either there are so many of them. Markescort tends to charge different rates all the time. But he does a great massage.

[seeker630]

RE: Too many Marks!

 

Maybe I caught him at a bad time - but I wouldn't see him again at that price.
