In Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), the act of engaging in sex as part of an exchange of sexual services for money is legal, but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, living off the earnings of an escort, massage girl or of a sex worker and pandering, are crimes.
It's legal to be a sex worker, escort or massage girl giving hand relief in the UK . . . but working together and virtually anything you need to do to contact a client is illegal. This puts sex workers in danger, they have to work completely alone in their apartments for fear of being arrested for running a brothel.
