I did, but I'd already been working here regularly (at least once a month, and in rotating areas so my regulars got used to it) for twelve years or so. I moved into my London flat in February 2020 which was either perfect or terrible timing, depending on how you look at it (I had no work for months like everybody else and very expensive rent to pay, but the hotels were unusable for a lot longer), and it was the best thing I ever did.

My main tip would be make sure you choose an area that you not only like but which suits the way you work - I work daytimes/office hours and prefer shorter incall bookings so the City suits me perfectly. Have you worked here much up to now? Bear in mind that your rent will likely be horrific, but I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that! It can feel relentless though, especially if you're unwell and can't work or need a break and want a week off for whatever reason. I try to keep a 2-3 month cushion but it's not always easy.

I do find that I can work harder and do more bookings here just because the punters are so much easier to deal with (being around people who understand that time is money and have busy enough lives that they're not interested in messing prostitutes about for fun is a Godsend), but I probably don't have that much more disposable income than I did before after rent/bills, gym, travel and whatnot. My sanity is more important to me though .

i've lived in london n the past. my advice is live in zone 3-4 where you pay less rent and busier than in zone 1.

like which area?
i m looking to move also

used to live in hendon central and i was busy

Well your first choices all sound pretty good - have you been down to view flats? The rental situation is horrific here at the moment but there are still a handful left

I think it depends how 'London' you want it to be; I'm very central and whilst I could stand being a little bit less so, any further out than Zone 2 and I wouldn't have bothered. I can live in a random suburb far cheaper in any other city in the land
