Prices in London (United Kingdom): USD levels & what moves them
Short time in London runs £80–110 citywide (April 2026), £100 at Baker Street, £250–300 in Paddington, £300–350 at Marble Arch and £300–600 in Chelsea–Kensington–Mayfair — a 6× spread set almost entirely by postcode. Soho walk-ups, where they still operate, were quoting £55–65 with £130 overnight on their latest reliable numbers.

Postcode is the price
The August 2026 district numbers: Paddington £250–300, Marble Arch £300–350, and Chelsea, Kensington and Mayfair £300–600 (active), with a £150–300 mid-band and a £50–90 budget band (disputed) filling the space beneath. Baker Street holds £100 (July 2025, active), and citywide ceilings of £200–600 and £400–900 (disputed) mark where the premium escort tier begins. The April 2026 citywide anchor — £80–110 — is the honest median of all of it.
Soho walk-up economics
The walk-up numbers: £55–65 short time, £130 overnight (2024), with the format’s procedure — door, terms, timing — written up and active into 2025. For calibration against history, the 2021 national figures put the UK incall median at £120 and London & Southeast at £130; today’s £80–110 citywide band sits below that old median, which tells you the market’s centre of gravity has moved downmarket in format (online, independent) even as the top postcodes climbed to £600+.

How we get these numbers
- Every figure is a range from many independent reports — never one guy’s story.
- Prices enter the database with a source date and remain available as they age.
- The same segment is tracked district by district — the spread between areas is often the real story.
- Dollar amounts are rounded on purpose (rate date below): enough to plan and compare cities — the exact, dated local figures come when you ask.
What moves prices here
- Postcode is the multiplier — £80–110 citywide becomes £300–600 in Chelsea–Kensington–Mayfair with nothing else changing.
- Walk-up economics — Soho’s £55–65 tier survives on central-cheap floorspace; its thinning trend is the price of zone 1.
- Format shift since 2021 — the £120–130 national incall-median era gave way to an online-independents market with a lower centre of gravity.
- Disputed ceilings — £400–900 quotes mark the premium escort tier, not the market.
