Accommodation
All of our international students will have to choose an accommodation option and this is not always an easy decision. Choosing where to stay is very important when travelling and we are happy to give you advice and help you make the right choice. We can organise a variety of accommodation options for you so please take the time to read through all of them to see what suits you best. If you have any questions you are welcome to email us directly at info@lexislondon.com.
All homestay accommodation organised by Lexis has been inspected to ensure that we recommend affordable, comfortable and friendly places for our students to stay.
Please remember:
- Accommodation is booked from Sunday (check in) to Saturday (check out).
- Students are not permitted to check in to or check out of their homestay accommodation between 10pm and 7am. Please consider this when booking your flights and if you insist on arriving between these hours, you may need to stay overnight in a hotel.
Our accommodation service is only available for International English language students, studying on Full-Time or Summer English courses

Our top tip:
London is very busy during the summer and accommodation can be hard to find during this time, so we recommend that students book as early as possible. All accommodation options are subject to availability but we always try our best to fulfil all of your requirements.
Information Pack:
Once the accommodation is confirmed, you will receive an Information Pack, which contains further information about London including travel details.
Why homestay?
When travelling alone, homestay is one of the best accommodation options. You gain first-hand experience of life in an English speaking home and because you have the opportunity to communicate in English with your host on a daily basis, your English will improve faster. Homestay accommodation is the most chosen option at Lexis. Every year, we place hundreds of students into homestay accommodation.
We can organise homestay for you which is a short journey from the school, and some are within walking distance. We select warm and loving people, who care about giving our students a ‘home away from home’. Most of our students do not need to travel on the tube in the rush hour every morning.
Finchley is the ideal location for visiting students who prefer easy access to London without the hustle and bustle on their doorstep. It is a clean and vibrant area of North London, which provides an excellent opportunity for our students to live and learn in a family oriented neighbourhood.
Lexis students can choose between bed & breakfast or half-board in a single or shared room. Shared rooms cannot be booked individually.

In busy periods our experienced accommodation team works in partnership with external accommodation agencies in order to find the most suitable option for your needs and budget.
Prices may slightly vary from our published fees when we have to use external accommodation agencies.
Please remember: Students are not permitted to check in to or check out of their homestay accommodation between 11pm and 7am.
Please consider this when booking your flights and if you insist on arriving between these hours, you may need to stay overnight in a hotel.
Instead of homestay you might enjoy the opportunity to live with other students (from the UK and around the world) at a student residence or would like a more private setting in a shared private home (we can also help you find female/male only houses) or even live like a king/queen in one of the nearby hotels.
Warning - please be aware of the implications of arranging your own Private Rented Accommodation with an estate agent or via an advertisement you have seen (eg online).
For example, you must never pay for private rented accommodation before you have seen the room or property. Are you happy and do you feel secure living in the property? Is it close to Lexis School of English?
If you arrange your own private rented accommodation, you'll miss out on living with a homestay and even meeting other English language students...
