The London Underground.

The average travelling time from the host family to the school is 30 minutes.
We recommend that you buy a Period Travelcard.
London is divided into zones (like an onion).
Almost all the host families live in zones 1 and 2 (1 is the centre).
Very rarely in summer we use families in zone3).

  • It is almost certain that the family or student house will be in zones 1 or 2.
