Greater London

Greater London is the name of the ceremonial county that covers the London region, excluding the City of London. With a population of over 8.9 million (2018), this 607 square mile area is split into 33 districts that stretch from Hillingdon in the west to Havering in the east, south as far as Croydon and Bromley, and up to Enfield in the north. London real estate is some of the most coveted in the world, thanks to consistent demand, top universities, clement weather, a dependable legal system and the city’s plentiful green spaces – among many other factors.

Avoid L&Q!!!

Verified Resident

Review Date May 2024

The area is fantastic. Lots of great restaurants and cafes. Close to both Victoria line and northern line. It’s not to crazy with people as of yet but still has a good buzz.

Please review your development:

L&Q they are terrible at communicating if there’s an issue. We’ve been waiting 5 months for someone to fix the mould in our room and are constantly chasing them. Apart from this the building is a bit dated compared to other buildings around us. On a positive note, we get to use the gym in the other building.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Wish I had known what the letting agency was going to be like. Terrible at getting back to us.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They respond very slowly and take ages to sort anything out.

I enjoy living in east Croydon

Verified Resident

Review Date May 2024

Good connections to central, loads of local shops and the area is filled with different cultures. It feels very inclusive.

Please review your development:

I enjoy living in east Croydon. With the quick access to direct links to the trains leading into central London and Boxpark near, I feel there’s a good balance to being able to disconnect from it all as well as get involved with it all when I want to.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How easily sound travels through the walls at night

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Nice and quickly. I usually get answers immediately.

Great Apartment, Facilities & Building Management.

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date May 2024

Having grown up in this area I’ve seen this development become a very attractive place to live. The location of the apartment is minutes away from the train station and in walking distance of shopping amenities. The one thing which still lacks in Bow is Cafes and Restaurants for the occasional lunch, breakfast.

Please review your development:

Regarding the development we moved in when the full building services were still under construction. As you can imagine this wasn’t the best experience. However the team here really made an effort to finish the amenities ahead of time and kept us informed with good communication. The building is complete and now looks great and being someone who does work from home I can say that these are at a standard of a paid co working space. In general the team are super reactive and responsive to any issues or queries are very approachable. The building management had changed (for the better) since we move in but ever since Anna, Iga and Beverly have been around there is honestly not a fault I can mention. Great team, very efficient and approachable.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The building amenities timelines should’ve been made clear from the start.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes they have and all have been dealt with very swiftly. The moving within the building to a 2 bedroom and a door handle issue was handled very quickly by Iga.

Convenient place to live

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date May 2024

It’s been pretty life changing to live at Fizzy Lewisham. When I decided to go south, i didn’t expect to be so close to everything, i have everything I need in less then a 15 minute walk. The trains to the centre are always quick and convenient.

Please review your development:

The building is fairly new, and had a quick make over in the lobby to freshen up. The roof top is well maintained and has many events during summer time. The parcel room is also pretty convenient, since you can only go upstairs to the flats if you have a fob. That’s also a great layer of security.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I believe the only thing that I kind of bothers me is how the heating motor system works (during the time when people are coming back home from work, the water tends to get colder quickly). But it’s a minor thing, and doesn’t bother me as much

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Any concerts and problems that I had on the flat was almost immediately solved. The mad management team does a great job
