OK, took a bit of a stroll this evening to sound out some of places I found on
External Link/Members OnlyBegan my recce from Farringdon and wandered up Leather Lane to see who might be available at
External Link/Members Only but it's closed for urgent maintenance for a couple of weeks (can't remember when that began) but it looks plenty empty and dusty through the window.
Went round the corner towards Grays Inn Road and popped in to
External Link/Members Only which had a Chinese guy at reception and a middle aged Chinese woman, pleasant but not horny looking, figure typical middle age spread, didn't appear to be busty under her high-collared Chinese jacket. Seemed ambivalent about trying to make me stay for a rub. Asked if other girls available but no info given, no others brought into view. 30 for 30 relaxing massage.
Headed North along Grays Inn Road from Theobald St and found
External Link/Members Only almost immediately on the corner on the right hand side and popped in. Old English guy at the desk being shouted at on the phone by what sounded like a Chinese accented female voice. He asked if I had an appointment and then gave way to a Chinese woman who appeared. She was middle aged, not particularly pretty and had ill kept teeth with a ton of plaque in between her upper front teeth. Her English was poor but managed to learn that they have a mix of girls working there every day until about 9pm, possibly non-Chinese too. Didn't feel inclined to try it out. 30 for 30 relaxing
Further along Grays Inn, again on the right and a little way down a side street (Elm St) I found
External Link/Members Only. Talked to Chinese woman, middle aged, ok looking, not fat but not slim, English passable but not very conversant. Only her and another working, she called her out, she was prettier, slimmer but probably late twenties and a little worn looking, not fresh-faced. English better but her attitude was dismissive, so despite them not being busy neither turned on the charm to get me to stay. No names given or asked for. Walked. 30 for 30 relaxing.
Passed a couple more places that were closed as I walked past Holborn and across to Tottenham Ct Rd. Was wondering where to try next, Fantasia on Charing X Rd or into Soho for a wander. Decided to try the Noel St premises of Your Health, who also have a place I've tried successfully down in Clapham Common. Called ahead and was told by Dr Wu (Chinese guy) that they had a Spanish girl, Susan and a Romanian, blah-blah-blah. Said I'd be along. As I made my way along Oxford St I passed a tatty souvenir shop with a massage sign outside, same kind of colouring and look as a bunch of Chinese places so popped in to see what's what, headed into basement unchallenged, all very discreet as shop empty and people on street can't see where you're headed. Found a small, deserted reception desk and a bunch of rooms with closed doors. Sounds of occupancy but no slap-slap of a tell-tale nature. Left none the wiser but took a mobile number from one of the signs.
Headed for Noel St... see review
