Homestay accommodation provides you with a
‘home-away-from-home’. We offer a variety of
homestay options; ranging from bed and breakfast
to self-catering, with locations throughout London.
Students live as part of a family sharing mealtimes
(both breakfast only and half-board options
available) and all other facilities in the home that
they need, including the family bathroom and
laundry facilities.
Homestay accommodation is great for younger
students or for those who wish to practise their
conversational English, and can also offer great
peace of mind for parents. With years of
experience, our host families will help you to adjust
and settle into your new environment with ease.

I am living in student accommodation and I am loving it! It has not only
given me a great opportunity to meet new people from different countries,
learn their cultures, but also allowed me to educate my flat mates about
my country and our traditions. More importantly it has given me a unique
opportunity to improve my English in a non-academic environment.
