Homestay Accommodation

A Home Away From Home

What is a homestay?

Homestay accommodation, a unique and authentic way to experience a new culture and immerse yourself in the local community. You get a chance to live with a family or local host, who provides a comfortable and welcoming home away from home. Unlike traditional hotels or rental properties, homestays provide a personal touch that can't be matched, with hosts who are eager to share their knowledge of the area, customs, and language.

We understand that choosing the right accommodation is one of the most important decisions when studying overseas, and that's why we're committed to providing you with a comfortable and welcoming home away from home. Our homestays offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture, improve your English language skills, and make lasting connections with your homestay host. With our personalised service, we will pair you with a host family that best suits your preferences and needs. Our experienced and welcoming hosts will provide you with a safe and comfortable living environment while giving you the opportunity to learn and experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of London. We're excited to help make your study abroad experience memorable and life-changing with our homestay accommodation.

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.
