→Brothels
===Brothels===
There are many brothels in the UK. How open they are depends on the location. For example, the three remaining saunas in Edinburgh are brothels. Similarly in Manchester town centre, there are 3 that are easily identifiable from the street, and several more in the area. Not at all secret. These are allowed to stay open simply because the topcop in the area (probably with agreement from regional CPS) chooses to ignore them. The owners and those running it '''are ''' breaking the law. As a punter you are not breaking the law by visiting. Other regions (e.g London) have no obvious brothels, though as described below, many setups are legally the same as the blatant ones in Edinburgh or Manchester.
Beyond the obvious ones, any premises (e.g. flats, saunas, massage parlours) may be classified as a brothels if they are used by more than one man or woman for the purpose of prostitution, '''whether on the same day or on different days.''' So, if you see a prostitute, say on a Monday at a particular flat, and another prostitute the next day in the same flat then the premises will still count as a brothel, even though there is never more than one person working at any one time.
