Escort Safety Guide: Practical Tips for Staying Safe in London

When you work as an escort, safety should be your top priority. A smart approach can keep you out of trouble and let you focus on the fun part of the job. Below are clear, easy steps you can take before, during, and after a meeting to stay safe.

Plan Ahead and Verify

Never meet a client without confirming their details first. Use a reputable agency or platform that lets you see a profile, photo, and reviews. Ask for a phone number and give a friend a heads‑up about the appointment – date, time, and venue. Even a quick text saying, “I’m heading to X address at Y time,” can be a lifesaver.

Do a quick Google search on the address if you’re unsure. Look for red flags like multiple complaints or a location that’s far from public transport. Knowing the route and nearby safe spots helps you stay in control.

Choose Safe Meeting Spots

Pick a venue that’s well‑lit, busy, and easy to leave. Coffee shops, restaurants, or hotel lobbies work well for a first meet. Avoid secluded parks or private apartments until you’ve built trust. If you need to go to a client’s place, bring a spare set of keys and a plan to leave quickly if needed.

Carry a small, discreet safety tool – a personal alarm, pepper spray (where legal), or a hidden phone with a quick‑dial emergency contact. Keep it within reach, not hidden in a bag you have to dig through.

Stay Connected During the Date

Let a trusted friend know when you start and finish. Use a check‑in app that shares your live location, or simply send a quick message when you’re done. If something feels off, don’t hesitate to call a friend right away.

Keep your phone charged and on silent mode so you can answer any calls without drawing attention. If you need to leave abruptly, have an excuse ready – a fake appointment, a pet emergency, or a simple “I have to be somewhere else.”

Trust Your Instincts and Set Boundaries

If a client pushes for something you’re uncomfortable with, say no firmly. Your comfort matters more than any payment. A firm “I’m not doing that” can end a risky situation before it escalates.

Remember, you’re in charge of the negotiation. Discuss rates, limits, and expectations up front. Put everything in writing whenever possible – a text confirmation or an email works.

After the Meeting: Review and Report

When the encounter ends, take a minute to note any red flags. If the client behaved oddly or threatened you, report it to the platform or local authorities. Your report can protect other escorts from similar trouble.

Take care of yourself afterward. A quick shower, a warm drink, and a chat with a friend can help you unwind and reset for the next day.

Staying safe as an escort isn’t about fear; it’s about being smart and prepared. Follow these steps, trust your gut, and you’ll enjoy a safer, more confident experience in London’s nightlife.
