A guide to living in Brentford

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Great location! We have a few cafes around, 1 about to open soon as well. We are very well connected with so many different transports (buses, trains and underground) and we are in central London very fast. We have lots of green around us which makes it very enjoyable to go for walks (especially with my dog). The building has parking so it makes it very easy. We are close to the Brentford Stadium, but despite this, you don’t even hear any noise from games day.

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

Very proactive and helpful! The fact that they are always on site it really helps

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

Possibly the mattress could be more comfortable and I wish I knew so I could ask to remove it and purchase my own because I have back problems so I normally use mattresses specific for my condition

The location is Great! We have Brentford leisure centre which has a swimming pool literally 2mins walking distance; there are a few local shops (Sainsburys, Co-op and Mum’s); we have a cute cafe 1min away. We are also 5mins walk from all pubs along the river Thames and also 15mins walk from Kew Gardens. It’s also very well connected: there are different bus stops, Gunnesbury station 15mins walk and you are in central London in no time!!
