London escorts were a well sought after service around the Victorian era, and the most famously documented were based in the capital city of London.
Around the time of the 16th Century, most of the larger Elizabethan theatres were erected in the prime location of London and almost always were built in an area which was known for its prevalent escort services. One of the first plays produced by Shakespeare in 1604, named ‘Measure for Measure’, was partly set within the walls of a brothel which was run by the notorious character, Mistress Overdone.
Escorts were named many different things before the 20th century and one quite odd underground phrase was founded by Henry VI, where he named them as the ‘Winchester goose.’
This phrase grew from the fact that the landowner ‘The Bishop of Winchester’ had land which stretched between the Palace, London Bridge and the famous Globe Theatre, where he grew fat off the proceeds of money collected from rent which was earned from services of the many escort agencies in London.
Henry Mayhew was a famous researcher during the 1800s and published several books on escort services in London. In 1862, he estimated that there were 80,000 working girls from London’s population of around one million and his research led him to distinguish 20 different categories of escort services.
Mayhew’s assumptions were strictly Victorian and he arranged each type of working girl in a class structure; “Seclusives,” “Sailors,” “Board Lodgers,” “Soldiers,’ “Thieves,” “Clandestine Prostitutes,” “Maid Servants” and the “Ladies of Intrigue” to name but a few of his categorisations.
