How to Choose a Companion for a Business Trip vs a Leisure Weekend

A business trip and a leisure weekend ask different things of a companion.

A companion who suits a slow weekend away may not be the right choice for three days of meetings in the City. The trip sets the brief.

Decide which kind of trip you are planning before you book one of our high class London escorts. The length of the booking is a separate question, covered in our guide to choosing the right format. Here, the focus is the nature of the trip.

How the Two Kinds of Trip Differ

A business trip runs on a schedule you do not control. Meetings move, dinners overrun, a car arrives early, and the day is full of people whose opinion of you matters.

Whoever accompanies you needs to feel comfortable in that setting. Look for composure: someone who reads a room, holds a conversation at a corporate dinner and understands the occasion.

A leisure weekend usually leaves more room to choose your own pace. There may be time for a long lunch that turns into an afternoon, or a change of plan halfway through.

Here, shared interests and personality have more time to come through. You are spending time together across the weekend, so think about whose company you would enjoy beyond dinner.

What a Business Trip Requires

Discretion comes first. On a business trip it is a working condition rather than a preference.

You may be staying in the same hotel as colleagues or clients. A companion for a business trip in London needs to feel at ease in the settings you will share. Tell us whether that means a corporate lobby, a restaurant or a reception with professional contacts.

The dress code matters. You may both need to dress formally, and plans can shift at short notice. Tell us what the occasion calls for, so she can dress for a room where the meeting comes first.

Conversation makes a difference at a working dinner. Look for someone who is comfortable contributing to the discussion and giving others room to speak.

If your evenings include corporate hosting, brief her beforehand, as you would prepare for the meeting itself. We have written separately on how to brief a plus-one before a corporate dinner. If you are staying in Kensington or Mayfair, include the location when you describe your plans.

What Changes for a Leisure Weekend

Take the meetings away and the pace changes. A leisure weekend gives you more time together, which affects what you should look for.

Polish still helps, but over a weekend personality matters more. Think beyond a two-hour dinner to the longer stretches of time you will share.

Shared interests earn their place here. You might plan a morning around the galleries, an unhurried lunch, a drive out of the city or an evening at the theatre. Tell us which of these matter to you.

When you describe the weekend, mention the kind of temperament you would enjoy as well as your dates. That helps on any trip, and more so on a longer one.

The pace is the main difference. On a business trip you fit a companion around your work. On a leisure weekend you may plan more of the visit together. Give us enough detail to see which applies to you.

How to Brief the Agency

Tell us which kind of trip it is, and be specific about the rest.

For a business trip, start with the practical details: your schedule, how firm it is and the dress code. Say whether you will be around colleagues. If there is a corporate dinner, explain the occasion and who else will be at the table.

For a leisure weekend, tell us what you want to do and the pace you prefer. Quiet and unhurried is a different brief from being out every night. Share the interests you would like us to consider.

We meet the women on our roster in person. That gives us a basis for discussing the company you are looking for, and our note on how we choose our companions explains more.

Rates start from £500 per hour, and each companion's rate is shown on her profile. Longer arrangements, such as a trip of several days, are discussed directly. Our guide to what shapes the cost of a booking covers the details.

Our office is open from 8am to 1am every day. Round-the-clock arrangements are available by advance booking, and our note on booking hours, late nights and holidays explains how that works. Tell us whether the trip is business or leisure, and make the booking around what it needs.
