Become an HFS London Host Family
We are currently recruiting for host families in zones 1-4 of London. Host families need not comprise a “family” in the traditional sense. The most important criteria is that you can provide a safe, warm and welcoming Homestay environment in a suitable standard of accommodation (within your own home).
The profile of our host families varies considerably and reflects the very multicultural nature of London. A Host Family does not always consist of two parents with children. We have many great Host Families who are single parents with children, young couples without children, co-habiting adults and retired people whose children have left home.
Homestay families with children often tell us that welcoming an international student to their home has helped their own children broaden their minds and appreciate other ways of doing things. We have couples with no children or whose children have left home who enjoy the extra company and also being able to help a short term visitor settle into the country.
Host families enjoy the chance to meet new international friends. Many of them remain in contact with their guests long after they leave. Guests will sometimes return the hospitality and invite their host family to stay with them in their homes abroad. Being a host family is a great way to share our language and culture and learn more about other cultures.
