Group homestays in Plymouth
Plymouth
Plymouth is a city on the south coast of Devon, England, about 37 miles (60 km) south-west of Exeter and 190 miles (310 km) west-south-west of London.
Union Street was at the heart of Plymouth’s historical culture and was where sailors from the Royal Navy would seek entertainment. It is now the late-night hub of Plymouth’s entertainment strip where most clubs play commercial dance and R&B, there are some which play less popular genres. Other clubs and bars are at the Barbican Leisure Park and on Lockyer Street. There are a number of bars with live music. Outdoor events and festivals include the annual British Firework Championships and the Music of the Night which is performed in the Royal Citadel to raise money for local and military charities.
The city’s main theatres are the Theatre Royal,the Drum Theatre, and its production and creative learning centre. The Plymouth Pavilions stages music concerts, basketball matches and stand-up comedy. There are also three cinemas: Reel Cinema, Plymouth Arts Centre and a Vue cinema at the Barbican Leisure Park. The Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery has six galleries. The Plymouth Athenaeum, is a society dedicated to the promotion of learning in the fields of science, technology, literature and art.
The Royal Citadel was built in 1666, to defend the port from naval attacks, and to train the armed forces. Guided tours are available in the summer months. Smeaton’s Tower was built in 1759 as a lighthouse on rocks 14 miles (23 km) off shore, but was dismantled and the top two thirds were rebuilt on the Hoe in 1877. It is open to the public and has views over Plymouth. Plymouth has 20 war memorials including: Plymouth Naval Memorial, and the Armada Memorial, to commemorate
the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
Also on Sutton Pool is the National Marine Aquarium which displays 400 marine species and includes Britain’s deepest aquarium tank. Crownhill Fort is a well restored example of a Palmerston’s Folly. It is open to the public.

Having had the opportunity to work with London Homestays since the company started operations in London, all of the enquiries have been dealt with in a dedicated and timely manner, the team members are customer-oriented and always provide an exceptional accommodation experience to our students.

We would like to recommend this agency. The whole team is very kind.”

“We offer internships in London to European students and looked for a reliable partner to provide accommodation to our candidates. We have been very happy with the services provided by London Homestays, as have our candidates, as they have always received quickly information on families, the possibility to book a room in a short delay and also a good quality of families. I would recommend without any doubt this agency. The team is very professional, efficient and friendly :). We hope to send new trainees soon!”
Stéphanie Frassanito, Program Manager, Work Overseas
“Our school from the Czech Republic has had great experiences with London Homestays. They are one of the only hosting agencies who would accept our very young guests (under 12). The host families were generally welcoming, kind, and accommodating. The service provided by the coordinator Kate O’Connor and other admin staff is second to none.”
Kate Powers, Vice Principal for English Studies, Sunny Canadian International School
It was an amazing experience, I’ve found a new home where I feel as comfortable as I do in my own home!
Laura, student from France: Homestay booking in Zone 2
“When my children went off to university and got married, my husband and I were empty nesters rattling around. We have an empty bedroom and I quite enjoy keeping it fresh for new students who come to stay with us both short and long term. Invariably, they show us a lot of respect. Coming to London to study or to work as interns is a big adventure for them and I enjoy settling them in and seeing them flourish. Some return or recommend to their friends to come and stay with us. London Homestays are a great organisation to deal with – good at communicating and highly ethical.”
Cathy, Homestay host in Colindale, London
“My first student has just left to return home and I have thoroughly enjoyed hosting her. It has been a lovely experience for me to help her with her English and learn about her Japanese culture.
I was nervous and apprehensive at first but it was so worthwhile and I look forward to continue hosting in the future. It has given me a boost knowing that I can give someone an opportunity that they may not have been able to afford without using London Homestays”

“I highly recommend London Homestays! We have been working with them for a while now, and their professionalism and the quality of their homestays have always been exceptional. One of the homestays we collaborated with was so impressive that we even shared it on our YouTube channel to give our students a glimpse of the warm and welcoming environment they can expect. Thank you, London Homestays, for providing such amazing services. We look forward to continuing our partnership!”
