Homestay Zone 2

Zone 2 homestays are located in the first residential zone outside of central London (Zone 1 is mainly made up of tourist attractions, shops and businesses). As Zone 2 is very close to central London, many areas such as Camden, Finsbury Park or Clapham can be very lively, bustling with fashionable bars, restaurants and music venues. Other areas can be quieter, bohemian and literary, from the wonderful open spaces of Hampstead Heath to the fantastic river views of Putney.

Hosts in Zone 2 usually work during the day and are at home in the evenings. Travelling from Zone 2 to central London on average takes between 25 and 40 minutes.
