I went to the massage parlour called Nature's Way on Praed Street yesterday when one of my regular independent ladies near Paddington had to cancel due to ill health. I found them via their advertisement on
External Link/Members Only.
I handed £30 over to the blonde-wigged receptionist for 1/2 hour with the one girl available. I asked about extras but didn't get a sensible answer. The girl appeared introducing herself as Connie - I think. She was mid-twenties, Chinese and quite pretty and friendly. After a good firm massage, I negotiated HR for £30 +£20 for the extra half hour. The HR was good and as I didn't want any further massage she actually returned £10, because I hadn't had the full extra half hour.
Put like that it sounds quite good, but it was actually dreadful. The room was bleak and just behind the reception area so that I could hear everything going on outside and conversation inside was all whispers. There are signs on the walls saying this is not a sexual service, but I can't imagine anyone would want to have a massage for its own sake in such a grotty environment. Connie forgot to switch the light on after taking me to the room. She then left me on my own to search desperately and unsuccessfully for the light switch. When she came back he had more giggles than English and I couldn't get her to negotiate any extras up front. The negotiations part way through were a real pain as she is very hard to understand. Finally there were no showers, just a wash-hand basin in the corner of the room. So I went home feeling really grimey. Moral: I should have asked about shower facilities as soon as I saw the room and then walked.
Connie wasn't too bad herself, but she should work on her English and try to get a job in a better parlour.
Summary:
Comms: i didn't need to phone in advance. Comms in the room were dreadful.
Venue: grotty room within easy earshot of the reception desk. No showers.
Verdict: not recommended.
