White Lily Spa - Soho

[BlackLuster]

I was out on a Saturday night and passed by a few massage places, thought I might give one a try. I was debating between this and an asian place but this one intruiged me as the girls looked eastern european. Bit unusual for a massage place I thought.

Turns out they are Romanian (first red flag) and I noticed the one upstairs at the door was rather unwelcoming. Curiosity got the better of me and I went in.

I was led downstairs, loud music playing which was quickly turned off as the girls either scattered or tried to look somewhat professional. Clearly not many customers at the time. They have no uniforms, just t-shirt and jeans.

After paying 50 for 30 minutes at the counter I'm taken to a small room with a massage bed/table and told to strip. There was a small shower in the corner but the receptionist can see you in the shower when the door is opened. Small inadaquate towel too.

Onto the bed (face up) and the girl starts putting oil on my body which in hindesight is a bit weird as b2b was refused.

I asked if she does this sevice stripped down and I'm given a ridiculous price for extras (350) which includes her naked, free touching and a handjob.

Needless to say, this place is a scam and the girls are sketchy as hell.

I went to this place and reviewed it Negatively in 2022. My experience was much like yours. Other members jumped on my review and told me this place is a notorious rip off joint and I should have read the reviews first (I didn't).

It gives me no pleasure to say 'you should have read the reviews first' (sorry).

This place is a known rip off, noted many times here as warning.

Nowhere within stumbling distance between Shaftesbury Ave and Brewer St isn't going to try to fleece you for shit service.

People are always so quick to criticize, and I get it on occasion, but this really only applies if you're PLANNING a trip to these places. If you're stumbling upon one late at night, you can't reasonably expect anyone to start researching on a street.

Many apologies, I didn't mean to criticise, just sharing my experience. And my visit wasn't planned either - I had a bit of spare time and wandered past this place, a pretty girl smiled at me .... and the rest was a complete waste of money!

You were in the heart of Soho, this is not a wiwi (will it won't it) moment where you find a bargain in a tourist trap zone with a decade+ of past form as far as these massage joints are concerned.  The old-skool walk-ups (the very few left) are about the only (cheapish) value in the immediate area and not without hazard.  The ropey Chinese doorways around Little Newport St are hit n miss which will try to overcharge by 20+++ for any given service, depending on whim of provider.  It takes just a few minutes to search UKP.  If burning 50+ quid just getting in a room is inconsequential to you then fair nuff, flush a further 100+ on extras without batting a lash well ok.  Personally I'd stop and check UKP or it's equivalent wherever I was in the World.  That said I don't punt half-cut, it's bad enough when little brain is nagging for a knobbing.

Sad to say, many seem to be going the same way.  Even the "respectable" shops, north of Oxford street, will now, more often than not, on the flip, ask you for £100 - £150 for HE.  When you laugh, they realise that you're not a tourist or a mug and very quickly come down in price.  But I suppose it's worth their while, as now and again it must pay off.
