There seems to have been a massive increase in the numbers of escort and agencies in Central London. It is not just the fact the agencies that did not cover the area are now starting to, but the new agencies that have come into the mix. Some provide very cheap incall and outcall services. In a way they are directly competing with the more established services and 'under-cutting' them quite considerably in price. When it comes to independent escorts, there has been a sharp rise in numbers. Whether it is the recession or the increase in university fees, many people are taking to escorting to help them financially. It appears that the more escorts there are the more directories online that are there to showcase their services. 5 years ago there was not this high number of London escorts on the web. Now you see a mass of agencies providing escort sevrices from £100-£120.
