Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2.3 and 4of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential.

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.

Friends

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
