SW1 escorts: one postcode, from Hyde Park Corner to the Pimlico embankment
SW1 is the postcode this edit was built around. It begins at Hyde Park Corner, takes in the palaces, the garden squares and the government quarter, and runs south to the river at Pimlico. Each district within it gets a full page here; this one is the map printed inside the cover.

Reading the letters after SW1
The postcode is divided into sub-districts, each with its own letter, and they are worth a glance when you write to Rosie. SW1X covers the northern half of Belgravia, the grand hotels of the Knightsbridge side and the length of Sloane Street. SW1W takes in Eaton Square, Chester Square, the Belgravia side of Victoria station and the Belgravia edge of Sloane Square.
SW1V is Pimlico and its stucco grid, running down to the embankment where Chelsea Bridge crosses into SW8. SW1A and SW1P are Westminster, from Whitehall to the Abbey and Millbank, while SW1H, SW1E and SW1Y cover the streets by St James's Park, Victoria Street and St James's itself. Knightsbridge straddles the border, partly SW1X and partly SW7.

The same terms under every letter
Nothing about the price changes between one letter and the next. The ladder starts at £400 for the first hour and climbs through £600 for ninety minutes, £750 for a pair of hours and £1,050 for three, up to £1,300 for a four hour dinner and £2,400 for a ten hour night; weekends are quoted on request. All of SW1 sits in Zone 1, so your companion's journey is always included. For your own bearings, four stations sit near its centre: Victoria about 5 minutes on foot, Hyde Park Corner about 6 minutes, St James's Park also about 6 minutes, and Sloane Square about 8 minutes.
Write to Rosie once with the hotel, your room and the name the booking is under, or simply a house address, and she replies with an arrival time in writing. The fee passes to your companion herself when she arrives. Because eight of our faces live inside SW1 or on its edge, the postcode sees our quickest arrivals, usually well inside the hour.
Five hotels that anchor the postcode
Five names come up more than any others: The Berkeley and Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park on the Knightsbridge side, The Lanesborough on Hyde Park Corner, and The Goring and The Peninsula London in Belgravia. We list them as landmarks for your bearings, with no tie of any kind to the edit. Each district page carries its own hotels, stations and walking minutes in more detail, and the gallery of faces shows everyone who travels here.

Questions
Asked about this district
4 answers. Tap a question to open it; anything missing, ask Rosie directly.
Yes. SW1Y is part of our patch; send the hotel or the address as you would anywhere else in SW1, and nothing about the rates or the timings changes.
Belgravia and Pimlico, usually, since several companions live there. Victoria and Knightsbridge follow very closely behind.
Not at all. The hotel name or the street is plenty. The letters simply help you find the right page on this site.
Strictly, no: Park Plaza Westminster Bridge is in SE1, on the far bank. It is still minutes away and inside Zone 1, so it is covered on identical terms.
