I was in the area after work. Have about an hour or so spare and didn't have time to look for a reliable indie, so end up popping in for a massage. The place look a bit crap, made almost no effort at all in pretending to be a herbalist. The shop is also located at a busy street (Pread Street near Paddington station). But I doubt anyone care much. If you are self conscious though, the entrance is very exposed.
I opted for a massage for 45 minutes (£40). Paid the receptionist and head into a room. Very basic with red dim light inside. The masseur was a skinny EE called Gia. Quite pretty and slim. The massage was ok but nothing special. She wanted £70 (!!!) for a full body massage, which was negotiated down to £40. She actually performed this part quite well, like a sexy lap dancer rubbing her body all over me and eventual brought a very nice ending.
So it wasn't all that bad. But I probably won't return since the place was quite shit and not at all cheap.
