Welcome to Southampton
With cruise ships, Titanic history, beautiful parks and two universities, Southampton (population 250,000) is a great
place to stay, and our school is right in the centre. London is only 75 minutes by train, and it's an easy journey to
Oxford, Bath, the Isle of Wight and many more of England’s treasures.
Southampton is best known for the Titanic, which sailed from here in 1912. The excellent SeaCity Museum
explores Southampton’s maritime past and features an exhibition on the Titanic. Today, the city is still the 'cruise
ship capital' of England. You can enjoy the waterfront on our cruise evenings - see the timetable for details.
Although modern and dynamic, Southampton has a rich history, and many of its medieval walls still stand today.
The city also has an excellent shopping centre, a Premier League football team, and over 50 parks and green
spaces, making it one of the greenest cities in the UK. You’ll soon see why Southampton was recently ranked in
the top 3 cities to live and work in the UK*.
*PwC Good Growth for Cities Index 2019
Lots to see and do!
You’ll love WestQuay Shopping Centre, Watermark (a fabulous new
£85m restaurant and entertainment complex - see front cover, bottom
right), and the charming Tudor House Museum in the Old Town.
Students on our Classic Programme have one museum visit per week,
to either the SeaCity Museum (left) or Tudor House. Alternatives are
available for longer-stay students.

Staying in a homestay can be a valuable part of your language course. Your host welcomes you into their home and
gives you a comfortable and friendly base during your stay. You live as part of the household, taking meals together
and sharing the common living areas. All homestay hosts have been personally approved by the school and are
regularly inspected. Homestays are 10-35 minutes by bus from the junior centre. Our recommend minimum age
for homestay accommodation in 13.
Twin rooms with student of different nationality (or same, if preferred)
You spend Sundays and 4 evenings per week with your host
Bus pass included
Accommodation arranged by Lewis School
Photos show four different homestays.
What can I expect in a homestay?
You'll have a single room (unless you arrive as part of a group and have requested a twin room). Travel to school
is by bus. Your host will show you the journey on your first morning. We give you a bus pass and every day after
school our activity leaders will take you to your bus stop.
Your host will welcome you, provide you with a comfortable room where you can study and relax, and explain the
household arrangements. They will give you a change of towel and bed linen every week, and will
wash your clothes. However, please remember that it is a home and not a
hotel, so we ask you to respect the house rules. ry nice,
