Short Stays

Independent Halls

Some privately run halls of residence offer short term lets to students during term time and in the summer vacation. Use our Property Platform to search for short term accommodation, using additional filters to refine your search or contact National Code/ANUK-registered private halls directly for more information.

Homestay companies place students with a host family. Host families are live in landlords who offer the opportunity to live as part of their family. This can be a very popular option particularly with students who are new to London and its culture and/or who may be looking to improve their English language skills.


This type of accommodation can be tailored to the specific needs of the individual and has flexible lengths of stay. Some companies also do not require a guarantor to secure the accommodation.


We require these companies to be registered with the British Council before being allowed to advertise on our Property Platform.
