London W2

Tantric Massage in Edgware Road

Two tube stations carry the name and they have never met. The room is a few minutes from either, and from Marble Arch if the Central line is yours.

Nearest stations: Edgware Road, Marble Arch, Paddington
Our room: Here, W2
Outcall: Same rate with most therapists
Hours: Every day, 10:00 — 23:00

Juice bars and shisha smoke under the flyover, the street still going at midnight like it forgot to check the time.

Edgware Road is one of the districts where we keep a room, so this is a page about you coming to us rather than us coming to you. Three therapists work from it: Marta, Camille and Anouk. Ask for one of them and this is where you will be sent, with the exact address texted over once the booking is confirmed and not a moment before. That is policy in every district and it does not bend, however charmingly you ask.

Getting here has one trap and it is the name. There are two Edgware Road stations, one on the Bakerloo, the other serving the Circle, District and Hammersmith and City lines, and they are not connected, not even by goodwill. The room sits within a short walk of either, and Marble Arch and Paddington are both close if those lines suit you better. Check which one your train calls at before you leave, not on the platform.

The district itself does half our work for us. This stretch of W2 stays awake later than almost anywhere in London: grocers open past midnight, cafes full at eleven, pavements busy with people minding their own business at industrial scale. Nobody clocks a visitor here because everybody is a visitor here. Guests who feel conspicuous in quieter postcodes tend to relax the moment they turn the corner.

On the rota: Anouk spends most of her week at Edgware Road. Marta splits hers with Queens Park and Camille splits hers with Whitechapel, so if you are set on one of those two, give us your dates and we will tell you which district they land in rather than leaving you to guess. If the district matters more to you than the name, say so in the form and we will offer whoever is in the room that day.

Camille, therapist — Camille · £300 / hr

A guest last winter arrived straight from one of the shisha cafes, having decided that twenty minutes on an apple-tobacco pipe was sensible preparation. It was not. The shower before a session is not ceremonial, it is the price of admission, and Camille sent him back to it twice. He books monthly now and arrives smelling of nothing at all, which is the correct smell.

Two practical notes for W2. Hotel outcalls in this district are quick for us, the Paddington cluster included, and priced the same as the room with most therapists. And evenings here fill first, because the street makes a 22:00 start feel like mid-afternoon; if you want the last slot of the day, book it days ahead, not from the back of the cab.

Busiest road in London and I have never felt less looked at. That is a skill.

Landmarks nearby: Marble Arch, Hyde Park, the Lebanese cafes.

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.

When Edgware Road books

Evening starts book first here; the street runs late and so do our guests.
Weekday afternoons are the quiet stretch, best odds of your first-choice therapist.
Sunday is steady all day, mostly people finishing a Hyde Park walk properly.

What you can book from Edgware Road

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 Edgware Road

Do you have a room in Edgware Road?

Yes — Edgware Road W2 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 Edgware Road 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.

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.
