Deluxe Homestay

Location: Zones 1 & 2

From £315 per person / week

Deluxe homestays are excellent homes with very comfortable rooms in good areas close to the school.
In homestay accommodation, you can enjoy the comforts of a private home and immerse yourself in English life and culture. It is also the most cost-effective way of staying in London, with home cooking, pleasant conversation and comfortable surroundings.
We offer a variety of homestays which may not always consist of a “traditional” family, i.e. mother, father and children, therefore you may find your host is a single person, a single parent with children or a retired couple. These types of hosts are equally as good, and can provide excellent hospitality to students.
In London, some homestay providers may not be of English origin but all speak English to native speaker standard and English will be the language spoken in the homestay. The UK has a rich history and is very proud of its cultural diversity. Our London homestay providers are a reflection of our society and may come from different backgrounds, age groups and socio-economic groups.
