I was just wondering how much an escorts location is a factor in deciding on them? Like are you more likely to pick someone if they are located near work, city centre, near a train station or tube? Are zones more important or tubes/trains? Is parking an issue?
I am thinking of moving to a different flat so doing a bit of market research of you don't mind
Thanks!
Things to consider are how easy it is for them to get to you and park if need be.
If you were at the top of a emote mountain you would get clients, not that many and the ones that did would not return on a regular basis, although they may stay longer.
London is so huge that you have punters in all zones and with the ease of buses / tube it is easy for them to get to you.
Your biggest problem is the marketing, keeping your profile ahead of everybody else, as there are so many escorts advertising.

It's true that in London you will find wgs in all Boroughs but they still tend to concentrate in Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster usually within walking distance of a tube station on the District, Circle, Piccadilly or Central lines, parking in these areas can be a problem and I'm guessing for that reason most punters use Public transport, it's not uncommon for me when visiting someone new to find she works in the next street or just round the corner from someone else I've seen. Of course flats in these areas don't come cheap, some live in the flat some don't and for those who don't it seems pretty clear that those sub-letting the place are clear about what it's used for so no problems there.
The reason I punt in Central London as opposed to my own area is because although I still get a page or two of results when I search AW in my neck of the woods there are very few that stand out as genuine but if there were I would visit them, so a genuine profile would attract plenty of interest outside Central London I think. As for whether or not the close proximity of a wg to your home or work makes a difference well you can look at that in two ways, some may like the conveniance but others may be nervous about visiting someone close to their home or work for fear of being spotted up to no good.
I suppose I am just wondering what difference it would make to punters if an escort was living say in the outer zones but on a good line like thameslink or overground. For example some places on thameslink only take few minutes to kings cross / Blackfriars but are zone 6, whereas if an escort lived even in central London it may take longer to get there.

Not from central London it wouldn't...
Are you not trying to "over think" this situation?
Punters come from everywhere, if you are in central London you may see guys that work / live local to you, you may see guys that travel from the other boroughs who do not want to punt in their own area. Punters who are working in the area or just fancy a day trip.
The above is the same for any area that you may choose to work from, be it a hotel on the outskirts of a town city or in the city centre of some far distant place outside London.
I often have guys visit me from 30-50miles from the location I am in as well as guys who will plan a journey to fit in a visit.
The closest was the guy who only had to walk down a flight of stairs from the apartment on the floor above, although I have also seen guys that have been staying in the same hotel as I have been working.

Ive just heard contradictory things. Some insist that living in zone one is far better while others say it doesn't matter at all. But the cost is considerably different to rent and I'm not that bothered about living in centre of town where it's so crowded and Would quite like more room and a quieter place. Maybe even a garden! Lol
I don't think your getting contradictory advice it's just that there are pros and cons to both scenarios. In Central London you get a huge potential clientele and it's relatively easy to find a hassle free place to work from as those letting the properties know what their going to be used for, the number of times I've seen a large mirror behind the bed tells me that these places have been used for this purpose for some time lol, the downside to Central London is you will have lots of competition, when I do a post code search in the areas where I punt it can throw up 10 pages or more but in my own area just 1 or 2, the cost of renting a place is far higher as well I've not often discussed this with wgs but two have told me they pay between £1500 and £2000 a month for the studio flats they use and obviously in outer London or the Home counties you will probably get a larger property for far less.
But really where ever you work it's all about your profile, the reason I don't often punt locally is because most of the profiles look unconvincing and simply don't grab my interest, I think you've already made up your mind and you don't want to work in Central London but before you pick an area try looking at it in the way a punter would, do a search on AW to see who else is working there and if you find that there are not very many and those who are have little in the way of feedback etc then that would be a good choice as a genuine professional looking profile will really stand out.
Good Luck.

Or, it could be because it is a punting desert and the reason there is no girls is that there is a lack of punters.
If you are London based, even in the outskirts of central London you are surrounded by 1,000's of punters with very easy transport links to that area
.
So it is all about marketing, if people do not see your profile they can not call you.

Yes Sarah you could be right but even if you consider the Home counties yes there are isolated villages which wouldn't be the best place to set up but there are also large towns with transport links as well as a sizeable population. Perhaps this question would be better posed on SAAFE where you may get the awnser as to why so many choose Central London, there is the option of course of living away from Central London and renting a flat or room for work there, I realise this involves extra expense but it's an option that seems to work well for several wgs I know as it's not that difficult to find a place where the landlord has no problem letting it to a wg.
I have moved into my own flat, leaving a more centrally based shared flat.It has worked very well for me.
It s a small pond around here but my new location has helped because of its non-central location.
I am very close to a well known motorway junction and get clients travelling on the M4 aswell as from nearby towns now. It s not an especially nice area but on the main road to a big hospital and well sign posted so easy to direct clients.
The flat is not overlooked and because there are 6 flats in the block, no one knows who is going where.
Best of all, there is a large car park directly in front of me.
It s consideraby more expensive than a share - but at least it helps my tax allowance significantly ( I don t live there )
and , though I have been here just 5 months , I have at least made a similar amount of money after expenses- with the potential to put in many more hours.
I don t think anywhere is perfect, there will always be an upside and a downside to anywhere butI regret not having had my own flat sooner.It s off centre location is actually a bonus, makes it more discreet.
I suggest you take a look around and weigh up the pros and cons of each potential workplace and go for a 'best fit'
