West Drayton
West Drayton escorts in UB7, the town north of the runways
West Drayton is the only entry on this map that behaves like a town rather than an address near an airport. It has a high street, a green, a canal at the bottom of it and a platform three minutes from the middle, and it is far enough north that the aircraft are a rumour rather than a presence.
That combination makes it the easiest place on this map to spend a long evening, and the most comfortable one for a stay measured in weeks rather than nights. The figures are on the board of rates and the whole roster is on the board.

The town, the green and the canal
The green at the north end still has the gatehouse of a manor on it, which is more history than anywhere else in UB7 manages. The high street runs south from there with the ordinary useful things on it, and at the bottom the canal turns the last few hundred metres into a genuinely pleasant walk in either direction.
Half an hour on the towpath and back is the best thing to do here in the hour before dinner, and it is the only part of this map where a walk is a real plan rather than a way of passing twenty minutes.
Getting in and out of UB7
The station is three minutes from the middle of the town, which makes this the one address on the map where a companion arriving by train is faster than one arriving by car. From the middle of London that is a little over twenty minutes on the fast service, and it is how most of the women reach this end.
By road the central terminals are ten to twelve minutes south, the western terminal a little more, and the motorway junction about five. Guests staying here and working at the airport tend to keep a car, and guests working north of the town tend not to bother.
Where guests are staying
Rooms off the northern road out of town and along the lane towards the cemetery, plus a good number of serviced flats around the high street. The flats are why this is the long stay address on the map: proper kitchens, own front doors and no corridor at all.
Nothing on this page is a business with an arrangement here, and nothing is named. Outcall only, to a room or to a private residence, and she walks in like any other resident carrying a bag.
The evening this town can carry
Longer than anywhere else out here. There are tables on and around the high street that are still serving at ten, which means dinner first and the room after is a real plan rather than an optimistic one, and the canal walk gives the evening a middle that is not a hotel bar.
Danielle works Monday to Thursday across UB3 and UB4 and is easy company over a long dinner. Nora asks for a day of notice when there is a theatre evening in it, which is the sort of honesty worth planning around.
Who books in the town
Long stays, almost by definition. Contractors on three month postings in the serviced flats. People working the business estates just south, who chose to sleep somewhere with a high street rather than beside the fence. A smaller number of guests who simply wanted a quiet week and found it here.
For all of them the booking tends to be longer than the airport average, because the evening has places to put itself. Three hours and dinner dates are the two the desk arranges most often out here.
Companions who cover West Drayton
Danielle and Nora work the UB3 and UB4 side and reach the town in minutes. Violetta covers the same ground and takes dates from the end of the month. Molly and Patricia come up from the villages below the junction.
Bianka and Vanessa work the northern edge a few minutes south and are the ones to ask for a later start. Seven names, all of them realistic here, and booking explains what happens between the first message and the knock at the door.
The ground either side
South across the junction is Sipson, where most of the rooms nearest the boundary are, and beyond it Harmondsworth with its green and its barn. East is Hayes, the other proper town on this map. South west along the old road is Longford, and the northern hotel row runs along the edge between the two.

Asked about West Drayton
For a companion coming out from the middle of London, yes. It is a little over twenty minutes on the fast service and the platform is three minutes from the middle of the town, which beats the road at almost any hour.
Properly, and this is the best entry on the map for it. There are tables on and around the high street serving until ten. Say so in the first message and a table gets found before anybody sets off.
Ten to twelve minutes by road to the central terminals and a little more to the western one. Far enough that the aircraft are a rumour, close enough that a dawn departure is still comfortable.
It is the best one out here. The serviced flats have their own front doors and real kitchens, and the town has a high street, a green and a canal, which is more than any address beside the fence offers.
The towpath at the bottom of the high street, half an hour out and back, in the hour before the light goes. It is the only walk on this map that is a plan in its own right rather than a way of filling twenty minutes.
Two notes from this part of the map
A room at seven in the morning, and what the airport hotels will really do
Land at six and the hotel will cheerfully say three o'clock. What an airport hotel can and cannot do with a room first thing, why the night before is the only certain key, and how the evening is built around it.

An unhurried dinner at the hotel, with the case packed and waiting, beats anything eaten at a gate. How an evening runs before a late departure, and the hour to put the fork down for each terminal.
