Bea

Gone ten at night, most of London winding down, and Bea is letting you in with the kettle already on. The 22:00 start that others treat as a favour is simply her shift — she lives close enough to stroll home after the last session of the night — and you feel it in the room: no eye on the clock, none of that last-appointment energy. You get her whole attention while the rest of the street sleeps.

Her late guests are their own tribe. Restaurant people coming off service, and the reformed insomniacs who worked out that an hour on her table at ten does more than three hours of scrolling at midnight. Her Bayswater building is dead quiet at that hour — you could near enough hear the streetlamps hum. Several of them book her weekly on exactly that logic.

Late outcalls she weighs case by case, and I let her: a 22:00 start in a Mayfair hotel still ends with her getting home past midnight, so the far zones cost more at that hour, and she'll name the reason to your face rather than invent a nicer one. In the room her hour matches everyone's here — massage and nothing besides, hands to yourself, £300 and not a quid more. If mornings are more your hour, Yana keeps the daytime.

Out of the kitchen at nine, on her table by ten, asleep before midnight. Best hour of my working week, and I say that as a chef.

When you can get her

The nine and ten o'clock evening starts are her territory — book a day ahead.

Before five in the afternoon she's rarely in at all.

Late central outcalls yes; late far-zone ones are quoted, and she decides.

Fridays her slots go first. Sunday is her quietest night.

Lives close enough that the last booking of the night is a stroll home, not a problem.

Asking for Bea

Is the 22:00 slot a real thing I can book or more of a theoretical last resort?

Real, and usually hers. Last start of the night, done by eleven. A day's notice is ideal; same-day works if you ask by early evening.

Can she come to my hotel after nine at night or is that pushing it?

Central London, yes — sorted by that afternoon. Farther out at that hour costs more and she may say no; she still has to get home, and she'll tell you exactly that rather than dressing it up.

Book Bea

Name her in the message with a day and a time. If she is taken we will say so rather than quietly booking you with someone else.
