Having spent two days aching over who to see, where to go, services to request, price to pay, whether to a parlour or an indy, etc… I finally made a decision and headed to Ledow, 2 mins from Baker Street and very close to the seedy old former San Ling, from which I always emerged feeling decidedly grubby.
Ledow itself was mildly disappointing: I’d allowed myself to imagine a plush, upmarket environment; compared to SL, I suppose it is. In fact it is quite ordinary. £60 on the door. Taken downstairs by Cherry, short, dumpy, fortysomething and friendly. She wore a mask throughout, though I removed mine on the table.
The massage itself (I asked for firm) was excellent: shoulders, back, arms, neck, etc. A positive for this alone. After about 20 mins she moved on to the legs and quickly on to what really mattered, with CC swipes and reach-unders. Some excellent teasing. About 10 mins later she asked me to turn over and just carried on with the job in hand: no discussion of services or money. I caressed her ass and tits and she lifted her shirt to give access to her chest (this was the only mild disappointment: large stomach and very sweaty). The finish was first class and very intense… she carried on gently as I continued to gasp, holding on to me perfectly until I was done; she then cleaned up with the paper towel.
Still she had about 15 mins left, so decided to work on my feet, sitting on a stool at the end of the massage table… this was rather pointless and seemed to go on for ever. But all credit, I got the full hour. She then went and fetched a hot towel and wiped me down. I inquired about a shower but she looked terrified and asked did I really want one, so I decided to leave things be - and left Ledow feeling like an unwashed frying pan.
I was slightly anxious that there might be some outrageous financial demand, but nothing of the sort. I volunteered a £40 tip, partly for the good service and partly as a thank you for the excellent massage, which was accepted with good grace.
In summary: Ledow itself is nothing special and the absence of an in-room shower is disappointing. But Cherry is first class and IMHO great value. Now to spend days agonising over my next massage!
