Meeting one of our escorts in Bayswater for the first time? Well, before the two of you disappear somewhere a little more private, it makes sense to begin the date somewhere you can both get comfortable around each other.
Luckily for you, Bayswater gives you plenty of decent options, including polished hotel lounges beside Hyde Park, relaxed restaurants along Westbourne Grove, lively venues around Queensway and even a glamorous rooftop spot close to Paddington. So, where are the best places in Bayswater to meet one of our models before continuing the evening elsewhere? Let's take a closer look.
The Best Places for a First Drink
Urban Meadow Café & Bar
Address: 251 Westbourne Road, London W2 4UT
Best for: a discreet, low-pressure introduction beside Hyde Park
Urban Meadow sits directly on Westbourne Road, opposite Hyde Park and close to both Queensway and Lancaster Gate. It operates throughout the day with a restaurant, bar and outdoor patio, making it one of the more flexible meeting points around.
This is particularly useful when meeting a Bayswater model for the first time, since you can begin with a cocktail and keep the opening drink fairly low-key. The lounge has an anonymous, neutral quality that means you don't need to worry about who's watching. Travellers coming and going pass unnoticed here too, and nobody is especially likely to remember your table.
On warmer days, the patio gives you the option of sitting outside for the evening.
The Hayden
Address: 43 Westbourne Grove, London W2 4UA
Best for: relaxed cocktails with the option to stay for food
The Hayden is a modern gastropub on Westbourne Grove serving cocktails, craft beers and comforting European and British inspired dishes. It feels stylish enough for a date without being overly formal, keeping the mood relaxed rather than showy.
That balance is precisely why it works so well for escort meets. You can begin with a cocktail and let the evening find its own rhythm before deciding whether to stay for food. If you both agree things are going well, you can order dinner and extend the evening without moving anywhere else.
The Hayden tends to be fairly quiet on weekday evenings and busier on Sundays, so if you're after a quieter atmosphere rather than noise, ask for a table away from the busiest corner of the restaurant.
The Mitre
Address: 24 Craven Terrace, Lancaster Gate, London W2
If you would prefer a classic London setting rather than a modern cocktail lounge, The Mitre is a characterful alternative close to Lancaster Gate. The Grade II listed pub retains traditional details including etched glass and mosaic flooring, while its downstairs bar offers a more intimate, cosy atmosphere.
During a busy after-work period, the main pub can become rather lively. If you'd prefer a quieter setting for your conversation, the outside terrace or a snug corner table can help you avoid the crowd and enjoy your date without competing with other conversations.
A Livelier Choice for Daytime or Early-Evening Dates
Drunch Notting Hill
Address: 2 Westbourne Grove, London W2 5RH
Best for: brunch dates, colourful cocktails and a more energetic atmosphere
Drunch sits at the eastern end of Westbourne Grove and offers a brighter, livelier style of date. Its menu blends brunch dishes, Mediterranean-inspired plates, sweet treats and cocktails, and the colourful presentation and playful theming make it a memorable venue.
If you and your escort want a fun, sociable date with plenty to look at and try, sharing plates here gives you just as much to talk about as the food itself.
The Best Bayswater Restaurants for a Longer Date
Grilandia Bayswater
Address: 45 Westbourne Grove, London W2 4UA
Best for: a warm, informal dinner date around great food
Grilandia is a Lebanese restaurant positioned between Westbourne Grove and Notting Hill, with a range of grilled and vegetarian dishes that give you plenty of choice.
Sharing food always makes a great date choice, since it encourages conversation to unfold naturally as plates arrive at the table, offering something a little different from the usual one-dish-each approach.
The setting matters just as much as the food, with warm colours and a garden-inspired interior that reflects the character of Bayswater and Notting Hill, offering a similarly memorable evening once you've settled in with your escort.
Mandarin Kitchen
Address: 14-16 Queensway, London W2 3RX
Best for: a memorable dinner with fresh seafood
Mandarin Kitchen has been part of the Queensway dining scene since 1979 and is particularly well known for its lobster noodles. The menu has a real sense of nostalgia, offering signature seafood dishes alongside old-fashioned dining decor and confident service.
This is a brilliant choice when you and your companion both love food, making for a memorable evening through the flavours on offer rather than the elegance of the setting.
The location on Queensway also means easy access towards Hyde Park and the rest of Bayswater, so once the meal is finished, you're well positioned to continue the evening through the neighbourhood at your own leisure.

The Best Choice When You Really Want to Impress
CÉ LA VI London
Address: 17th & 18th Floors, 1 Paddington Square, London W2 1DL
Best for: a rooftop terrace, glamorous atmosphere and standout cocktails
CÉ LA VI is technically closer to Paddington than central Bayswater, but sits just minutes away within the same W2 postcode as Bayswater and Notting Hill Gate. The rooftop setting delivers dramatic lighting, Asian-inspired cuisine, sharing plates and standout cocktails.
The setting suits clients who want to make more of an impression, particularly if you're both interested in stunning skyline views alongside the food and drink, with several dishes designed to be shared over the course of the evening.

What to Arrange Before Meeting Your Escort
Confirm Where the Booking Actually Begins
Tell the agency exactly where you intend to meet your escort — whether that's the entrance, the bar or your table — before the booking is confirmed, since some venues need those details in advance.
For a complete explanation of the information required, read our guide covering the details needed to book an elite escort.
Book Enough Time for the Date You Have Planned
A single drink can feel much shorter than forty-five minutes once you've settled in and started talking, so it's worth booking more time than you think you'll need rather than watching the clock.
Before planning your budget, you might find it helpful to read our guide explaining the average price of a VIP escort in London.
Check the Dress Code With Her
Most experienced companions know how to dress for almost any occasion, but they will still appreciate knowing what you have planned. A glamorous rooftop restaurant calls for a very different outfit from a casual gastropub, so let her know what to expect in advance.
So... Which Bayswater Date Spot Should You Choose?
The most important thing is to choose a venue that suits your companion, the length of the meeting and the atmosphere you want. If you want something lighter and casual, a relaxed bar table works well; if you want a longer conversation, book a quiet corner instead.
