Legal Overview
Selling sex individually legal. Brothel keeping (two or more sex workers) illegal. Kerb crawling illegal.
In Practice
English law means individual escorts working alone are technically legal. Any shared premises becomes illegal. Decriminalisation is actively debated but no reform has passed. Street sex work enforcement varies by city.
