Host Families
Staying with one of our registered families is the best possible way to experience British culture and rapidly improve your spoken English. Our aim is to provide visitors with a stay in London that is stimulating, memorable and trouble free. Our families are as varied as London itself. They may be a couple with or without children, a retired couple, or a single adult. They would all provide a friendly family atmosphere and positive social interaction.
Guarantee of quality accommodation.
All our families are inspected regularly and must abide by the code of practice and guidelines as set out by the British Council. Some of the criteria include: not to host another student of the same native language unless specifically requested, to treat the student as a member of the family, to provide a clean and comfortable room, to provide a balanced and appropriate diet, etc…
Location
All our families are located within easy access to Central London, and within walking distance to a tube or train station (zone 2 to 4). Your journey to Central London should take between 20 to 45 minutes. We will always do our best to place you in a family with direct or easy access to your school or work placement.
Rates
We take great care in vetting all accommodation to ensure the highest standard in comfort, welcome and ambience. This is reflected in the different price categories, which also take into account the travel distance to Central London. All categories would offer clean, comfortable accommodation and a friendly warm welcome.
The most common criteria for executive families is either their location in Zone 1 or 2, or extra comfort including the use of a private bathroom in some cases (more likely to be located in zones 3 or 4).
