Description of Accommodation
Any student will find that living in homestay accommodation is the best way to practise English outside the classroom. You will be treated as a close friend of the hosts that you are staying with and will have your own freedom while being respectful to their rules and expectations.
A homestay in the UK may consist of an adult couple with or without children or a single adult. There may also be up to three other students in the accommodation but they will speak a different native language from yourself. Housing very much varies here in London. You may be placed in a house (semi-detached/terrace and detached) or a bungalow or a flat/apartment.
Homestays in London are of many different nationalities and backgrounds, but the main language spoken in the house will be English.
Homestays are arranged by our accommodation partner, Hosts International who are registered with the British Council.
