Slightly strange Q for those who know Soho well or are not at work

Next to The Friendly Society? ?

I thought they were all over the place in Soho - no? Not that I've been actively looking ? Or hang around a phone box and catch them putting their cards in ?

? Flump, I also thought they were all over the place, but you know how things that you see all the time disappear when you're actually looking for them?

I'm fairly sure there is one on Dean St, nr Old Compton st.

Could you have a look on Google streetview?

According to this (Guardian article so safe for work) you should be able to find a really hot one on Brewer St.

Kings Cross has more of the standing on street corner variety I think, not that I've been out past 7pm recently.

I'm pretty sure Brewer Street has a few. I'll go look at the map and figure out which other streets - I know I've walked past a fair few, but need to refresh my street name memory!

KN, you're quite right ?

God, I hate Street View, it takes aaaages to find anything.

You mean escort not hooker....quite a few of them will take offence to being called that. I had to find a number of escort ladies for a project I did a few years ago.

I collected up some cards from the phone boxes in Tottenham Court Road and gave a few a call for a chat. One girl was great and for a small fee ? gave me a tour of the area and introduced me to her friends and 'business director'.

Maybe try 61 Dean Street?

Father David Gilmore could be quite a good contact?

Well obviously I would never call them hookeers to their face... Or indeed anything else ?

Do they still leave cards in phone boxes?

Berwick Street was always pretty seedy when I worked there, and there used to be a brothel in the building opposite my office (which we could see straight into hence our knowledge of its existence as a brotherl!).

I'm pretty sure they do still use cards, but you have to time it right because BT clean them up.

I gathered them from the boxes just past the Sainsbury's on Tottenham Court - near the cinema. I became a big collector of them for ages - some of them are very witty and innovative!

Berwick St , bottom of the market nearer to Brewer St.

& now I'm finding myself humming to NERD (Lapdance)

I got chucked out of a brothel once- My and a friend were looking for a secret drinking club, next thing I am being chased down the stairs by a mad scottish lady calling me a "Shite slag" (insult in the hooker world, no?) It was on Brewer street.

I am going to some god awful bar there later, with a friend who won't go anywhere she can't get 50% off (a digress type place I think) so I could ask around? ?

oh, soph, I've just remembered- the charity my company works with rescues sex workers from brothels/ strip clubs and helps them build a life outside the industry- I mean not sure if the girls would talk to your sis (most of their work is with sex slavery ATM) but they might be a useful resource? I can give you their details next time I see you if you like.

That would be great! Any chance you could email me now?

Denman St, directly opposite the Queen's Head pub - if you sit in the front window of the pub for a while it's very obvious as there are men coming (fnar) and going.

I know I'm horribly naive but the first time I noticed it I was shocked that the punters all looked so young/well dressed/ordinary. People were obviously popping in after work (lots of men in suits) and it made me feel a bit ick. Our local brothel seems to be exclusively patronised by elderly fat Turks. ?
