A leafy suburb of London with fantastic public transport links into the city just 25 minutes away. Beckenham has some beautiful parkland available and is peppered with listed architecture throughout. We have to say the most unique aspect of Beckenham is the strong sense of community spirit.

What our guests say about Beckenham

• I would just like to say thank you to Ellie for a wonderful stay in Beckenham this week. Nothing was too much trouble for us and when we were looking for a nice pub/restaurant in the evening, Ellie's suggestion was perfect for our last evening. Our students were very happy with their host families and many had some in-depth conversations in the evening which i know they really appreciated.
