Major hubs like London, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham sit close to the UK average.
Cities such as Bradford and Wakefield consistently come in under £110, offering some of the most affordable incall rates in the UK.
It’s not just location that affects pricing — escort category matters too.
| Escort Category | Average 1-Hour In-Call Rate |
|---|---|
| Gay Escorts | £135 |
| Adult (Female) Escorts | £133 |
| Trans Escorts | £168 |
To keep things accurate and transparent, this study is based on:
Outcalls, overnight bookings and bespoke experiences were excluded to keep comparisons fair.
Escort pricing across the UK has risen overall in 2026, but the story isn’t a simple one-size-fits-all increase. While the national average incall rate rose from £112 to £122 (+8.99%), individual cities saw everything from sharp growth to noticeable corrections.
In short: prices are rebalancing, not just inflating.
UK Average: A Steady Year-on-Year Rise
| Year | Average 1-Hour In-Call Rate | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | £112 | — |
| 2026 | £122 | +£10 (+8.99%) |
Biggest Year-on-Year Increases by City
Some locations saw dramatic jumps, often where prices were previously well below the national average.
| City | 2025 | 2026 | £ Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brighton and Hove | £80 | £126 | +£46 | +57.50% |
| Chelmsford | £88 | £138 | +£50 | +56.51% |
| Belfast | £88 | £129 | +£41 | +46.59% |

| Oxford | £98 | £130 | +£32 | +32.49% |
| Newcastle upon Tyne | £93 | £117 | +£24 | +25.29% |
These jumps suggest price catch-up, rather than sudden market inflation.
Cities With Moderate, Stable Growth
Many major cities experienced single-digit to low-teens growth, indicating a more mature and competitive market.
| City | 2025 | 2026 | £ Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester | £126 | £131 | +£5 | +3.92% |
| Birmingham | £109 | £124 | +£15 | +13.71% |
| Liverpool | £117 | £129 | +£12 | +10.63% |
| Leeds | £99 | £119 | +£20 | +20.35% |
| Bristol | £103 | £128 | +£25 | +24.67% |
| Glasgow | £113 | £130 | +£17 | +15.04% |
This points to pricing confidence without volatility.
Where Prices Fell in 2026
Not every city went up. Several locations saw downward corrections, often following unusually high pricing in 2025.
| City | 2025 | 2026 | £ Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bath | £216 | £125 | -£91 | -42.13% |
| Chester | £136 | £120 | -£16 | -11.76% |
| York | £128 | £110 | -£18 | -13.75% |
| Portsmouth | £134 | £124 | -£10 | -7.38% |
| London (GLA) | £130 | £125 | -£5 | -3.85% |
| Cambridge | £125 | £122 | -£3 | -2.62% |
Rather than signalling decline, these drops suggest market normalisation after inflated or uneven pricing.
Year-on-Year Change by Escort Category
Category-level pricing shows much calmer movement than city-level data.
| Escort Category | 2025 Avg | 2026 Avg | £ Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gay Escorts | £123 | £135 | +£12 | +9.53% |
| Adult Escorts | £121 | £133 | +£12 | +9.92% |
