Statuesque companions from 172 cm, matched to the occasion

Karolina, Samanta and Vanessa are the three to ask when the invitation says black tie. Karolina brings clean black tailoring and dry, exact conversation. Samanta, a violinist with a very steady gaze, reads a room of strangers faster than most people read a menu. Vanessa knows the Royal Docks after dark and is used to guests walking straight from a stand at ExCeL into dinner. All three appear on the corporate event itinerary, which sets out the short brief that helps them prepare.

Michelle talks easily with strangers and has a story for every warehouse on West India Quay, which rescues any table where the conversation has stalled. Milena, 175 cm and high-gloss, orders without opening the menu and keeps a dinner moving at a brisk pace. Either can hold a table of six while you finish the one conversation that matters. Four hours at £900 covers a full dinner with a drink either side.

Stacy, at 176 cm, favours metallic edges and deadpan humour, and she is the easiest companion on the range to book on the night itself. Her Greenwich evening runs from a late comedy bill to a camera walk along the river. Angelika prefers a live band to a hushed lounge and plays tennis most mornings, which keeps her lively well past midnight. Either suits an evening that starts late and moves around.

Violetta takes Greenwich, a tall-windowed tavern on the Thames with the towers across the water. Patricia takes Wapping, a terrace over the tide and a paint box in her bag. Both are calm, both like an evening to unfold slowly, and both reward a booking made a day or two in advance.

At a function with a door list, give Philippa the name she should be registered under and say whether you would rather walk in together or meet in the lobby. Either works. She arrives a few minutes early, checks her coat, and waits where you asked, so the first time anyone sees you together you both look as though it was always the plan.

A tall frame never moves the price. One hour is £250 and the four-hour dinner date £900, exactly as on every other floor, with the whole ladder on the rates page. Discretion works the same way too: first names at the door, nothing posted, nothing said afterwards.

Six of these nine also appear on slim and slender. Raven haired shares four names with this page, and for the opposite end of the scale entirely, the petite floor starts at 158 cm.
