Homestay :
LAL host homes are up to 45 minutes from the school. Staying with an English host home is a great way to discover the English way of life, and practise the English learned in our lessons. LAL works very closely with the acommodation agency, established for over 20 years, and we try to find a home which is just right. For people who book with a friend, LAL offers shared rooms as well. Choose from bed and breakfast or half board.
Residence :
- Grosvenor Hall: Grosvenor Hall is 2 minutes from the school. It is located behind LAL London across the road with a twin studio and nine single rooms in two flats available all year. During the summer LAL will occupy even more of this building giving access to more beds. All floors have apartments with five to seven single bedrooms sharing two bathrooms and a kitchen.
- LAL Allied House: Allied House is two floors above the school. With only three double rooms and one twin room, the residence is more boutique in its offer than Grosvenor Hall, and extremely popular with LAL students.
