Homestay Accommodation Options
One
of the most unique features of London life and something that we remain proud of
is our truly multicultural society. Our host families will reflect this
diversity but have in common the fact that they have been selected to provide
you with the warmest welcome within their home. The individual profiles of our
host families vary. You may find yourself staying in a Homestay with a family
who have children at home or possibly in an apartment with a couple who have no
children but who keep pets. If you have specific Homestay requirements, please
let us know on application. You will however be informed before arrival of the
profile of your host family.
You will have your own room with study and storage amenities as well as your own
key to the house or apartment. You will be able to do one wash load every week
and your bed linen will also be changed on a weekly basis.
Our Homestay families are located across London in zones 1-4. Approximate
journey times on the London Underground/Rail network to central London are as
follows:
- Zone 4 - 35-40 mins
- Zone 3 - 25 mins
- Zone 2 - 15 mins
