About Thea
Hounslow Road in Feltham is a working street, and Thea makes no apology at all for liking it. She is 165 cm and curvy, with long caramel blonde hair and green eyes, and she is one of those people who always looks as though she has just come in from somewhere pleasant. She wears knits and long coats and flat shoes most of the time, and she owns exactly one pair of heels, which she describes as an emergency measure.
Late twenties, English speaking, warm and very hard to fluster. She is a good listener in the real sense, the sort who does not reply immediately, and the pause tends to produce something better than the quick answer would have. She cycles everywhere she can and reads on trains everywhere she cannot.
A big hotel sits on the Hounslow Road between Feltham and the airport, with a proper bar in it, and it is the one most people out here end up in without ever having chosen it. She makes an evening there work: an early dinner, a walk down to Hanworth Air Park while the light holds, and back before the road gets busy again. She lives in South Kensington, so this is half an hour from Waterloo to Feltham station and a short ride after that, and she plans for it rather than cutting it fine.
She is better booked for a long evening than for an hour. The Feltham page covers the area, and booking is where to start.

Booking Thea
An early dinner with a walk after it is the shape she suggests, which works as three hours at £700. Four hours at £900 if you would rather not watch the time at all.
Every figure she works to is printed on the fare board, and the four steps from message to doorbell sit on the booking page.

An evening with Thea
Half past five, an early table, and a bar that is busier than you would expect because half the airport eats there. She is unbothered by a room full of lanyards and will have a proper conversation through the middle of it without once lowering her voice.
Then the walk: Hanworth Air Park is ten minutes away, two hundred acres of grass where aeroplanes were built and flown in the 1930s, and at dusk it is completely empty. She will tell you about the old aerodrome and then ask you something that makes you think. Back at the hotel by eight, and the rest of the evening moves at whatever pace you set, which with her is usually slower than you planned.
Thea, on the record
Q.01Feltham is not glamorous. Is that a problem?
Not to me. It is a real town with a station and a park that used to be an aerodrome. Glamour is something you bring with you, not something a postcode hands out.
Q.02Early or late?
Early. I like a five o'clock table and a walk in what light is left. By ten I am good company on a sofa and hopeless in a restaurant.
Q.03Do you really cycle everywhere?
In town, yes. Out here I take the train, because the Great South West Road is not a road for a bicycle and I am fond of my own skin.
