MEET YOUR HOST:

Hi we are Robin & Shamineh and this is our first time hosting a popup. We've been homeschooling our two daughters, aged 5 and 8, and 7 year old son in the Pacific Northwest USA for the past few years and we're looking to take the show on the road. We haven't traveled that much as a group yet - only Costa Rica so far - but are looking to start a new phase in our lives. As children we both spent time as expats in far off places and want our kids to experience being part of the global community. We thought London would be a great place to start because we have family there and know the lay of the land.

LODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS & TRANSPORT:

It's safe to say there will be no localized neighborhood for this pop-up. We will group activities by area to explore a different part of the city each day. Expect most of our time to be within central London between Kensington Palace in the West, Tower of London in the East, Regent's Park in the North, and Battersea Park in the South. There will be a few days spent outside this main area. The host family will be staying in Hampstead near the Heath.

Airbnb, Agoda, Booking, and other search engines have short-term apartments available.  The Premier Inn is recommended as a basic, budget-friendly hotel: https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/greater-london/london/budget-hotels-in-london.html

It's also safe to say you will need to purchase some sort of public transport card to keep costs down. There are Oyster Cards, Travelcards, Young Visitor Discounts, and single pay tickets.
