Dinner-party light behind Victorian glass, the King's Road exhaling its last shoppers.

Half the interest in tantric massage in Chelsea comes from couples, and most of those want the taught format: the therapists demonstrate on each of you in turn, then guide while you work on each other. It travels well to a private house, which is why SW3 asks for it. A sitting room with the furniture pushed back does the job better than people expect.

The King's Road empties earlier than its reputation lets on. By nine the shoppers are long gone, the restaurants are on their second sitting, and the side streets have gone over to dinner-party light behind Victorian glass. You can hear cutlery from the pavement. Chelsea books to match: home sessions on weekend evenings, studio visits midweek, and very little after nine in either direction.

On houses: the ones off the King's Road take a table without fuss. Some of the narrow Victorian conversions towards the Embankment do not, and the staircase defeats us more often than the room does. A photo of the space sent with your form answers it either way in one message.

The staircase gets its own paragraph because it has beaten us more than once. A folded table is four feet of awkwardness, and one house near the Embankment saw off two attempts at the half-landing turn before everyone accepted that the sofa would move instead. The session was fine. The lesson is the photo: send one of the stairs as well as the room.

Do not drive to a session in the evening. Central London parking after six is a lottery we have watched guests lose, and the train wins on time as well as temper. Which room you want depends on who you book — Sloane Square is barely a walk from most of Chelsea, the rest one straightforward Tube run away. The lottery losers all say the same thing after. Which is that we told them.

You warned us about our own staircase and you were right. We come to Sloane Square now.

Landmarks nearby: King's Road, Chelsea Embankment, Duke of York Square.

The address of whichever room you are booked into is given when the booking is confirmed, not before. Every entrance is shared with other businesses and none of them carry signage.

What you can book from Chelsea

01 Tantric massage Nobody unclenches on command. You can walk in off the Northern line absolutely knackered, lie down on a warm table with every intention of relaxing, and your shoulders will still be up round your ears twenty minutes later. That is not you being bad at this. That is just how bodies work, and it is why the length of the session matters more than anything else on this page. From £250 02 Nuru massage The gel goes into the warmer about an hour before you are due, and a session gets through the best part of a litre of it. Most of what is written about nuru in London leans mystical. The truth is bodywork plus logistics — warm gel, warm mat, a lot of laundry — and the logistics are half the craft. From £350 03 Body to body massage “So she massages me with… all of her?” A guest put it exactly that way last spring, sounding half curious and half alarmed, and it remains the shortest honest description we have — her whole body doing work that hands alone cannot, warm oil in between, and rather less mystery to it than the name suggests. From £250 04 Four hands massage Here is the arithmetic most men get wrong before they book this. They expect double pressure — twice the hands, twice the force. The pressure is ordinary. What doubles is the information: two therapists, two tempos, until the part of your brain whose whole job is predicting the next touch throws its hands up and goes quiet. That part of the brain, it turns out, was most of the noise. From £350 05 Lingam massage Every couple of weeks someone asks to book twenty minutes of lingam work on its own — skip the rest, straight to the word on the page. We decline every time, and not out of preciousness. In the tantric tradition this is not a technique you lift out of a session; it is a stage the rest of the session exists to reach. Here it lives inside a full ninety minutes or more, and the placement is the practice. From £250 06 Yoni massage A surprising share of these enquiries open with an apology. Sorry if this is an odd request, sorry if you do not really do this, sorry to bother you. It is not odd, we do, and you are not. This is quietly one of our most booked sessions — mostly women in their thirties and up — and the apologies stop at the door. From £250

Questions from Chelsea

Do you have a room in Chelsea?

Yes — Chelsea SW3 is one of the districts we keep a room in, and the exact address goes out once a booking is confirmed.

What does an outcall to Chelsea cost?

With most of our therapists, the same as a session in her own room — no supplement. The outer zones and the late hours are agreed case by case before anything is confirmed, and nothing is discussed once the therapist is in the room.

How late can I book in Chelsea?

The last session of the day starts at 22:00. For later outcalls further out we sometimes say no, and it is about how the therapist gets home rather than the address itself.
