I live in London too, and originally thought I wanted to have one place to live and another to work. When I started looking at flats, I realised this was not going to be an option as it would just be too expensive, so I do live and work at the same place, so I looked for ones where the clients have the room and bathroom as soon as they enter, and I can close the doors to every where else so they don't see "my place."
It has worked well for me, and I also feel like clients aren't seeing my home.

If you found a place where you can keep your work rooms and "personal life" rooms separate would you consider working and living at the same flat?

Beth Elizabeth and Denise96, yes it looks that working and living in the same place would definitely be the best option in order for me to stay in Central London, you're right, the layout is very important if you work and live in the same place. The ideal for me would be to have two en-suite bedrooms (one for me and one for the clients) where the room for the client would be "downstairs", mean having some stairs separating both areas. Implementing a strong security system is also very important. But the only thing I'm scared that if I work and live in the same place is if a malicious guy who has bad intentions would "force"me to show him around to steal stuff or something like that.
Being outed by the neighbours is also a major concern of mine.

If you are in financial trouble for a while that says your work flat in london is not bringing in enough work for you and cannot see it changing much very soon.

If it was me i would get rid of the work flat and tour different areas but not London as too expensive for hotels and your work is not busy enough. Bare in mind at the moment lots of women are not doing that good at the moment with touring no matter where they go.

You don't want to do outcalls but least you can get there address i.d proof it's a genuine man or call through to there hotel room and with incalls you do not know who they are and have just a throw away sim that is why there is more dangerous reports on incalls then outcalls. I have done both for years and incalls is definately more dangerous but it depends how comfortable you are.

English Green, yes touring could be an option as well, however I would need to be able to save a bit of money before I start touring because once again it involves expenses for the accommodation and at the moment I'm completely broke  :(

I'll rethink about providing outcalls but to hotels only

I work from home and generally haven't had many issues. I'd love to be able to rent an apartment but with my other business and low bookings I'm not sure it would be worth while.

Maybe just maybe you could work from home as another extra option being very careful screening and using saafe and the other app to check to see for bad reports but don't look at working from home as a permanent situation and only let them in to the rooms they use and get rid of loads of personal items and say you are using it for work. Don't tell them you live where you work.

Yes this seems like the best option, I just have to figure out now how to break my working flat tenancy contract

I think this is a pretty ridiculous thing to be worrying about given it is highly unlikely to happen - if you’re hosting incalls, it is your responsibility to take control the moment a client steps foot into your space. If a client tries this, assert yourself and say no before showing the client door. You don’t even need to make a big deal out of it, just say those rooms are of no interest before grabbing his hand and taking him to the room you’re working from.

When I first started doing outcalls, I did visit client’s houses but the lack of security in terms of CCTV footage of me being there really bothered me. Also, I just never felt I was totally in control given I was on the client’s territory. Once I decided only to make outcalls to central London hotels, I’ve felt much happier. Firstly, all clients must give their real names and provide a copy of the hotel reservation. I always insist we meet in the bar, restaurant or other public space as I know this was be caught on CCTV so should anything happen, there will be a record that that particular person was the last person I was seen with.

I know this isn’t 100% but in my experience, particularly since I only see clients who contact me via my website, I’ve had pretty much zero issue with outcalls to hotels or clients for that matter. None of my clients have posed any issues whatsoever and I rarely even used to check here or CE for reports as they’re so willing to ensure I’m comfortable in seeing them that they provide whatever screening information I need.

Lastly, and not se work related, but using Deliveroo to order supermarket shopping is stupid, just go the supermarket yourself or else order directly from the supermarket online!

PS. Feel free to drop me a line anytime if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all

You don't have to tell anyone that you're alone in the place, when someone asks me if I'm alone I ask back why? And that is enough with that conversation :)) I always tell them to bring all their stuff into the bedroom and even close the door after they are with me and had a shower.  All of my other doors are closed and nothing personal in the view. No one has to know that you're alone.

Another answer is "You won't see or hear anyone". Ends the conversation and leaves them unsure if you have a security buddy in the other room.

I know but what I mean was if the person has a threatening behaviour and attempts a robbery

Yes outcalls to hotels are definitely better and less riskier, I would never consider outcalls to private places

Have you tried reducing your prices maybe for a short period of time till you get more and new clients and then you can put it up again.. just an idea.

Denise, yes I've tried decreasing my prices and it surprisingly didn't work at all, like the only outcome I got from it was getting my regulars at a discounted price (good for them but not so good for me  :()

Didn't see any increasing in enquiries by decreasing my prices so decided to put them back to what they were originally

I don't think being quiet is price related at the moment (unless your price is way too high which probably is not ) less men are paying for sex up and down the country.
