United Kingdom — Legal Help

Selling legal; soliciting, kerb-crawling, brothels (2+ workers in one premises) illegal. Police generally don't target individual workers; trafficking-focused enforcement. NUM (National Ugly Mugs) for safety alerts.

Embassies & consular help

If you are detained, ask police to notify your embassy — they can provide a lawyer list and consular visits, but cannot pay fees or intervene in the case.
