Homestay is one of the most affordable short term accommodation options in London. Our pricing structure offers students lots of choice. Central London homestays will cost more than properties in zones 3 or 4, and you can also opt for self-catering, bed and breakfast or half board. Tell us your weekly budget and we’ll be able to shortlist our homestays for you.

If you’re worried about having to cook for yourself, then our meal plans could be the choice for you! If you’d like to have dinner prepared for you each night, then a half board plan should suit you fine. Alternatively if you won’t be at home much or prefer to eat out, you can just have breakfast each morning. Click here for more information about the varied meal plans.

London is a huge city, so understanding the different areas and neighbourhoods is important before choosing where you will live. The easiest way to distinguish the different areas is by the tube and rail zones. All our homestays are located across north, south, east and west London within zones 1-4, and you can find out more about the locations here.
