Welcome to this forum.
Thanks for your contribution especially your bookings with
massagemeinLondon
The out call with Candice is surprising at only £60?
Don't understand you getting a full service , was she into you and was it a outcall to your place?


Think I got lucky in fairness, it was mid-week outcall during the day and she'd just come back from holiday. I'm youngish and not bad looking so I think that helped. She mentioned i'd definitely be paying for an hour next time!

Welcome and thanks for the summary intel.  There's a separate thread for the  massageme indies (and another for indy massage girls) so please do spread your contributions about for greater effect.  :drinks:

Lavender Spa's rep is pretty poor, how much did you pay for how long of a massage?  Can you provide more details about the girl, day you went or days she works, how long ago?
I thought there was at least one obliging parlour in Brixton along Atlantic Road.  Have you tried the ladies in Camberwell, Elephant, Oval, Peckham, Streatham, Kennington, Stockwell, Anerley, Crystal Palace, Penge? Parlours in Clapham and Balham?
Plenty of opportunity within striking distance without being on your doorstep.

Walked in to Health and Beauty and was taken to Lavender Spa next door. Sorry it was a few months ago so sketchy on details, but again mid week, in the afternoon. Had a good chat with the receptionist which seemed to help as I think she gave me the pick of the bunch. The rest looked a bit moody and another punter did nearly walk in on us at the end so haven't been back to see her again.


Any idea of the details on Atlantic road as i'd definitely give it a shot.

External Link/Members Only - seen this girl twice for £80 (although had to haggle a bit). Not great looking and a bit weird but filthy. Starts with a massage but then lets you fuck and does a lot of A play.


Thanks for the info - did you see her incall or outcall?

Offline Talle196

1st time outcall and second time incall at her place in Earls Court. Nice flat but there was construction going on so there were a couple of lads in the building, who gave me a look knowing exactly what was going on.

She's a bit odd in that she was cuddling me like a gf at the 2nd time which was a bit off-putting. Both started with massage, lots of ass play and she put fingers up there in both sessions. Sex both times too and it was raunchy!

Not going to go back as facially she aint great and she weirds me out a bit  :D

Hi all
Anyone know whether Megy Greek masseuse is still around?
I believe she was based near West Kensington a couple of years back and used to have an ad on Backpage.
Any info appreciated.

VAVI Thai Massage - Rupert Street - Na Na

Went today and paid £30 for 30 mins. Got Na Na who was a milfy thai with a cute navel piercing and a nice figure. Black leggings and a crop top showing off a nice flat stomach.

After 10 mins or so of back and leg massage (a couple of almost grazes of the old fella) she asks me to flip.

After a min or two she then asks about extras, which I made encouraging noises to. It ends up discussing B2B and she's looking for £100.

Well it was a good job I was already lying down else I would have fallen over. I declined and she kept asking me how much I wanted to pay. I told her £40 and that was a no go.

To her credit she kept on, trying to get me to gor for a HJ @ £30 which I declined, suggesting £20. Eventually she suggested the HJ for £20 but by then there was so little time left, it wasn't worth it and I declined. She finished up the massage (full £30) and removed the massage oil with a hot towel.

She was cute but no way in hell was I going to drop £100 for a B2B for 15 mins or less.

Is it just me or has the B2B pricing in the parlours in Chintown and the surroundings gone ridiculous of late? This was even after the standard "have you been here before" line to which I always answer "yes" (naturally).

Most shops in Chinatown/Soho have been overpriced for years.
The best chance of a small tip is in the Everwell shops but most will be 40+

That's why I ventured into one of their places last week to see Lisa (Lisle Street I think it was, mentioned earlier in the thread).

Even she opened at £80 and wouldn't go below £60 for B2B.  :dash:

Tara?
150 for a "massage" and extras in a cramped room with a less than suitable massage trestle.  There is far better value to be had elsewhere.  Now if she went indie and had a decent shower and bed then that would be VFM.

Swung by the "new" Chinese in Balham (Bedford Hill next to Pho) yesterday, for first time in months to see if it was still trading.  They've now got a changing screen up to block view through front door down the passage to the rooms.
Met by a 30-something, slim 5'3"ish, plain but attractive, Chinese woman who apparently spoke almost no English.  Probably looks nice with make-up on.  Attitude was uncomprehending rather than dismissive or welcoming.  She couldn't understand me when I asked if any other girls were available.  Decided to try 30 mins.  Saw another body sleeping on the massage table in the first room I passed but failed to ask to be introduced  :dash:

Led to second small room with a small shower cubicle in corner.  She left me to get undressed and showed no surprise when she returned and I was naked, face down on the table.  She put on some music before starting.  All small indicators that extras would be offered.  She pressed my back with some strength but no particular knowledge of where or how to find the knots that needed attention.  After a few mins oiling my back she gently applied oil to my buttocks and legs in a sensual way that left no doubt she was going to offer more, her final touch was cupping my balls in an oil-filled palm before she whispered "body body?"
I offered 40 immediately regretting not trying a cheeky 30, this place seems so quiet the girls might just accept.  That said the attitude might stink as a result.

She undressed without flourish to reveal a milky complexion, bush bellow and some pleasingly soft Bs with half inch bullet nips.  No obvious stretch marks so perhaps not a mamma.  She tried to up-sell me for 20 more by cupping her boobs and saying "Kissy".  I told her all included in body to body.  She didn't try arguing (or understanding?).  She took a confident, oily grasp of my erection and lent over to press her boobs to me.  I was permitted finger access between her legs.  Managed to cajole her to straddling me but she didn't try to ridge-ride my cock, she was plainly trying to avoid any genital to genital contact.  She was reluctantly responsive to my digital attention to her clit and once astride my belly did nothing with her hips to encourage me.  I softly played with her tits and nipples and stole a kiss or two on them without protest.  She never angled her pussy forward or aft to offer open access to her puss but she was slowly giving in to fingertips making entrance to her moistening hole.  Throughout she maintained a steady, oily, firm rhythm of long-stroking my cock so despite all the frustration she was working it up to a lather.  As I got two fingertips inside her and she started to gasp her relentless, single-handed attention finished me off.  She continued to stroke until I was spent then matter of factly dismounted and cleaned me with some loo roll.  The sensuality quotient of this encounter never got much above 2/10.
I am curious to see if a repeat visit will increase mileage but I won't be in a rush to find out so no doubt she'll be gone before I try.

On exit I saw the other woman was now sitting on the couch in reception.  DAMN!!  She was a very pretty, slim 20-something that I would definitely have preferred if offered.  Didn't have the wad to give her a go.
May try later this week to see if she's still there though won't be surprised if she's equally dispassionate and unable to speak English.

Both girls definitely better looking than previous offerings here.  Failed to get names as I just couldn't be arsed to struggle with the conversation.

Commented on a review of her but regulars of this thread may not have seen it.  Visited Zen branch in Leytonstone a few weeks back to see who was on, was greeted by Apple at the door, who I normally ignore but for some reason I felt like investigating what was inside the bustier top (and she looked better for no makeup).  25 for 30 mins, cheaper than the Upminster Zen.

As others have remarked, not the prettiest and a weird hairline but decent pair of chebs on her.

Decent enough proper massage, worked on all the right bits but nothing sensual at all and then whispered "You want body body?" - I'd read on here that a 20 quid HJ on here gets you plenty off her so I said I only had £25 on me from a £50 left after the house fee.  "£25 enough, let's play!" as she took off her top while I got to work on the rest of clothes so she was naked beside me.  Full firm chebs and actually a shapely butt on her, the proportions look better naked than clothed.  Prolongued RO (trimmed bush) then 69 where she got astride me and proceeded to lick my shaft and balls before encouraging a titwank, of which I could barely contain myself.  Friendly girl and all delivered with enthusiasm (though no reference to FS next time as sometimes happens), would return if passing.

Lucky blighter!  No such luck in SW17.
Popped by Bamboo (mentioned yesterday) to see if the PYT was there but sadly the older one was (possibly called Sandy) and another 25+ with better English but pock marked, lesser looks and the ambivalent attitude that just wasn't encouraging a punt.

Also popped by Serene Spa and they appear to have a number of new girls on the rota (most of the oldies still there).  Anyone tried Eva, Barbie, Angelina or Isabelle?

The young one sounds worth a spin and by a delightful coincidence I am in the area for dinner this Friday evening :)

Just a quick question - once you get to Pho is the parlour obvious ?  Can't see anything on Street View but I guess the pictures get out of date quite quickly...

EDIT: Just noticed the time machine feature on Google Maps - really cool :yahoo:

Question still stands though... :)

As I work there I do saunter round Leather Lane and Holborn but see nothing of interest on entry and suspect they're tiring of my 'Can I see the menu?' routine.

Offline Titti Tatti

Finally made it to Thai shop round back of Holborn Station.

Yolanda nice..ish body, ok face, long dark hair, guess late 30's.

Good firm massage.

 Fingers dancing on my derriere discussions begin.  She is suggesting she only offers HE or b2b and wants an offer. I say 20\40. She pauses and accepts asking "which?"

 I didn't clarify what b2b meant to her but apparently it means she gets naked and you can touch ( but not suck) externally ( but not between legs at all). Even what she did was average.

I'm on a roll. A shit roll.

I think we're all pretty much agreed that the problem lies with the lack of quality of the SPs still coming to the UK.

There has been a massive decline in Thai and Chinese girls coming into the country..
They are relying on the current girls that are here and trying to make do with the limited numbers that are presently here.
That’s why there are so few new girls coming through.

My dick still twitches plenty for any moderately pretty female with a twinkle in her eye and some willing ability to fornicate.

If you can't recall the heyday when the EE's first joined the EU and the almost coincident flourishing of the Thai SPs then I mourn the loss of your memories, I'm sure you had some awesome ones.  Just tracking the deterioration of the Baker St and Paddington parlours these past 2-3 years also bears this out.

Certainly at the more affordable sub-200 ph end of the market we've been seeing a worsening of the quality (looks and services) of the girls as a whole, also the new "girls" in the parlours are getting older, the younger ones are generally lacking in skill and attitude and often asking for stupid prices.

Seeking and the like are probably attracting the youthful talent that might have otherwise come to market by the traditional avenues.  This generation is also over-pricing their worth thanks to the sensational headlines, indulged influencers, (s)cammers and "documentaries" that warp their perceptions.  Checking prices in the aspiring EU countries and there seems to still be plenty of VFM talent there, it's the exchange rate and cost of living here that prevents us from benefiting from their services much anymore.

Was talking about the massage shops rather than oriental girls in general where there has definitely been a decline - actually a decimation - of the quality and quantity. Thinking back to the shops from 3 years ago though, neither of these things seems to have changed that much. Still mostly the 40+ older women. Or maybe I have just forgotten like llp says. My memory is definitely shot these days  :wacko:

There are approximately 100,000 Chinese students in the UK, lets say 50% are female, so 50,000 girls who can work 20 hours per week during term time, say 10 hours working per day, so thats an absolute max of 100,000 possible girl days per week. more than enough to go round so what's the problem ?

I think for quite some while now young Thai girls, in London at least,  have thought working in massage was way beneath them, as a society they have been moving away from finding sex work acceptable as a working option. One of the benefits of better education being available to more.

Students can't work in massage parlours as they have no work visa. The massage parlours can get fined stupid money. It's not worth the risk for them anymore to hire students.
Hence, you only see the older 40+ girls who are permanent residents here. Probably married and divorced some UK dude.
Students typically will work out of flats or under chinese pimps for chinese customers.

Tier 4 regs say they can work unto 20 hours a week, are you saying massage is specifically excluded as a type of work ?

I've tried most of the roster in there by now and they're all very vanilla in what they offer, unless you fork out.  They probably have a high footfall due to the location (sometimes the door is locked at peak hours) and know that most citybloke customers will take whatever is offered.  As reviewed, the only one in there who went the extra mile was the MILF with big tits who I forget her name.

In terms of the whole 'quality' debate, the boards outside of London on here seem to be reporting a few gems (wish I'd kept my last job which had travel involved!).

Has the number of TCMs in London reduced? Some have closed (small number) but not many new ones have opened.  Business rates in London (as opposed to elsewhere) must cost these places a bomb now, must be hard to operate in that environment with those overheards.  Supply of women? As the review for Osaka Girls recently said, they come in and they're circulated quickly round the flats there's that few of them.  Must be the same for TCMs (the paperwork for the raid on Fuhe said that one staff commuted in from Manchester weekly, I've also heard of them having to sleep on the premises as rent is so high here, which again attracts the attention of the authorities for violation of premises terms).  Raids by the authorities may also be having an effect?

Chinese student numbers are through the roof these days, some of the silly price girls I've met in shops claim to be students, so other than the farmer's wives (how do they get visas?) that will also be a consideration.

As I say, the shop owners I've spoken to speak of a double if not triple whammy of business rates, council visits due to nosey neighbours and inability to get staff due to the cost of living in London all affecting their business.  And I've not seen a double whammy emerge from an unbuttoned tunic in a bloody long time either!
