Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3
and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as
much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a
less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.

Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still
provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental
Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold
meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners
usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and
coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must
first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a
family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared
kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of
accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the
long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as
an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at
home quite as much.
