Location
Whitechapel has that east London character. Busy streets, good food at reasonable prices, and Brick Lane just a few minutes north for curry houses and bagel shops. Aldgate East tube is a four-minute walk, and Whitechapel station gives you the Elizabeth Line, one of the newest and fastest routes across London, running from Heathrow through the centre to Canary Wharf. The area has plenty of supermarkets, shops and restaurants along Whitechapel Road. Students from universities across east and central London live here for the transport and the lower rents compared to Zone 1.

En Burlington School colaboramos con London Homestays desde 2014, y conozco al equipo profesionalmente desde 2009, cuando trabajaba para otra empresa del sector educativo y de alojamiento. Desde que la empresa comenzó a operar en Londres, hemos tenido la oportunidad de trabajar con London Homestays y todas nuestras consultas se han gestionado con diligencia y puntualidad. El equipo está orientado al cliente y siempre ofrece una experiencia de alojamiento excepcional a nuestros estudiantes. Recomiendo sin reservas a London Homestays como un excelente proveedor de alojamiento y socio comercial.

Ofrecemos prácticas en Londres a estudiantes europeos y buscábamos un socio fiable para el alojamiento de nuestros candidatos. Estamos muy satisfechos con los servicios de London Homestays, al igual que nuestros candidatos, ya que siempre han recibido información rápida sobre las familias anfitrionas, la posibilidad de reservar una habitación con poca antelación y, además, la calidad de las familias. Recomendaría esta agencia sin dudarlo. El equipo es muy profesional, eficiente y amable. ¡Esperamos enviar nuevos becarios pronto!

Nuestro colegio de la República Checa ha tenido experiencias fantásticas con London Homestays. Son una de las pocas agencias de acogida que aceptan a nuestros huéspedes más pequeños (menores de 12 años). Las familias anfitrionas fueron, en general, acogedoras, amables y serviciales. El servicio que presta la coordinadora Kate O’Connor y el resto del personal administrativo es inmejorable.
