OUR ENGLISH HOST FAMILIES AND LOCATION
We have an extensive database
of many hundreds of homestays in the locality, many of whom we use regularly.
Our host families provide you
with your own single or twin room and continental breakfast with shared use of the bathroom and kitchen. Some of our
host families can provide you with your own bathroom, subject to
availability.
Each homestay is inspected by us so you can be secure in the knowledge that the host family accommodation meets our high standards.
All of our homestays are located in the residential parts of South West and West of London, close to the centre of town and all amenities, shops and local transport. These areas are particularly renowned for their traditional English lifestyle yet they embrace an ever growing cosmopolitan influence. We believe that these areas offer the best of both worlds !

Kensington and Chelsea and surrounding areas, Fulham, Battersea, Earls Court , Shepherds Bush, Chiswick, Hammersmith, Turnham Green, Barnes, Kew, Richmond, Wimbledon, Putney, Parsons Green, Acton, Ealing. In addition, we can secure homestay accommodation in some suburbs south of the River Thames. |
