Group homestays in Twickenham area
We arrange group homestays in Twickenham area for schools and youth groups, working with experienced host families across the area. The area is located in southwest London, on the River Thames with rail links to central London.
Twickenham is a district in south west London, located within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Situated along the River Thames, Twickenham is internationally known as the home of English rugby union and offers groups an attractive riverside setting with good transport links to central London.
Beyond its sporting heritage, Twickenham features historic attractions including York House Gardens with its distinctive sculpture fountains, Eel Pie Island with its artistic community, and nearby Marble Hill House. The area provides groups with a pleasant suburban base combining cultural attractions with easy access to central London.
What group leaders need to know
Every group is quoted individually, because centre, dates and numbers all move the price. The practical arrangements are the same wherever your group stays.
Students stay with host families in twos, threes and fours. Group leaders and other adults travelling with the group can have single rooms if any are free when you book.
We suggest full board: breakfast and dinner at the family’s table, and a packed lunch to take out for the day. Half board, without the packed lunch, is also an option.
A local organiser is at the meeting point each morning and evening. Students are handed over between host families and group leaders with someone responsible present both times.
Airport transfers can be arranged for the whole group by taxi, minibus or coach. Ask for a quotation when you enquire.
Hosts who take students under 18 are DBS checked, and our safeguarding policies cover every group placement.
Larger groups pay less per person. A deposit of 20% of the total or £500, whichever is higher, holds the booking. The balance is due 28 days before arrival.
Send us your dates, group size and anything the group needs, and we will come back with a quote for Twickenham area. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
