Most homestay accommodation is in single rooms but we can provide twin rooms for 2 people booking together. Meal options are:

• Breakfast and dinner (HB)
  
• Breakfast only (BB - NB no use of kitchen) lIndependent (SC you can use the kitchen to prepare your own meal
  

• A genuine desire to welcome people into their homes and lives
  
• A clean and comfortable home

Students should not expect a replica of their own home. Homestays offer a taste of Britain and students may have to adapt to different homestay environments while they are in the UK.

Students should also remember that the UK has a rich history and is
proud of its cultural diversity. Our homestay providers are a reflection of our society and come from different backgrounds, every
age-group and different
socio-economic groups. We do not discriminate and welcome all homestays that fit our basic criteria.
London is a multy ethnic society. Some homestay providers are not of English origin but all speak English to native speaker standard.
We try to match students with homestays and to find the right homestay for everyone. It is important to book early and to tell us about your requirements e.g. in the areas of diet, smoking, children and pets.
Please note:

• most British people (about 80%) are non-smokers
  
• most British people have pets – usually a cat or a dog
  
• if you are in bed and breakfast or independent homestay you will not have so much opportunity to practise your English as you will not be sitting down for a meal with your host(s).
