Early twenties: ten women aged 22 to 24, introduced by the questions they ask
The early twenties are an age of questions, and the ten women in this set ask good ones. They are between twenty-two and twenty-four, each an adult whose age Rosie has verified in person, and what marks them out at a table is not a birthday but a habit of attention: they want to know what you think, why you think it and what you would do differently.
So instead of describing them, we have let each introduce herself by the question she tends to reach for before the first glass is finished. It is a better introduction than any list of measurements.

Questions of taste
Jasmin will want to know which scent you are wearing, and will probably have guessed before you answer. Bianka asks whether you drink red or white and then, more interestingly, why. Tiffany, who photographs the streets and has firm views on design hotels, asks which lobby in London has the best light. Molly wonders aloud what car you would have driven in 1965, and has her own answer ready.
Questions about a story
Luna, a devoted theatregoer, asks whether the ending worked, whichever play or film you saw last. Roxi opens with her latest podcast theory and invites you to pick holes in it. Stacy, who knows London's small comedy rooms well, asks for the funniest thing that happened to you this week, and laughs as if she means it.
Questions about how things are made
Angelika asks which painting you would take home from the last gallery you visited, then disagrees with your choice on principle. Lea, who throws pots and thinks in floor plans, asks what you would change about the room you are sitting in. Lucy, an amateur astronomer, asks whether you have ever looked for Jupiter above London, and will find it for you from the Pimlico embankment if the clouds allow.
How the band shows at a table
The manner these ten share is a quick, open enthusiasm. They welcome a change of plan, know which rooms opened this season, and are as comfortable at a formal table in Belgravia as at a late bar. They bring energy to a long evening rather than borrowing it, which is why a night out running from a Motcomb Street bar to a late supper suits them so well. They are also good company for a guest who arrives tired: this much curiosity will carry the conversation for the first half hour and hand it back only when you are ready.
Hours that suit their diaries
Several in this band keep their own rhythm. Molly prefers later nights that begin after nine, Jasmin can manage an early evening and a late one on the same day, and Luna plans her theatre nights well ahead. Tell Rosie the hour you have in mind and she will match it to the right diary.
The same ten, elsewhere
Lea and Luna also appear under auburn and red, Angelika and Roxi among the raven haired, Jasmin, Lea, Lucy and Tiffany with the petite, and Bianka, Luna, Molly and Roxi in the curvaceous set. For tastes that have had a few more years to settle, turn to late twenties.
Arranging an evening in this band
Every companion here starts at £400 for the hour, exactly as in every other band, and the longer formats are printed on the rates page. A name and a time sent through booking is enough for Rosie to begin.
