A guide to living in Borough of Camden

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

The location offers an exceptional level of convenience. Having Coal Drops Yard's variety of dinning and retail options, as well as essential services like Waitrose, within a few minutes' walk makes daily life very seamless. Transport links are also a major advantage, with both King's cross and St Pancras stations providing effortless access for commuting and travel. The proximity to the tracks is part of the convenience of living so close to a major hub and I've found it to be a natural characteristics of the area that likely feels different depending on your flat's orientation. Additionally, the nearby canal paths also provides a pleasant space for out door walks away from the main street.

There weren't any surprises I wish I’d known about beforehand. The apartment, facilities, and location were all exactly as described. It is rare to find a place that so accurately reflects its presentation, and my experience here actually exceeded my expectation in the best possible way.

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

There are a lot of nice restaurants on the street, as well as many grocery stores next to the apartment. There are also nice parks and gyms, so you can exercise as much as you want. The transport is excellent, with many bus stops near the house and a metro station just a 3-minute walk away. Although the street can be a bit noisy at night, it is a busy area.

We came for a short stay. King’s Cross works well when you’re short on time. Trains, Tube and food options are all close, which matters when you’re working late. It’s not a quiet neighbourhood, but it’s practical.

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

Very quickly! Its really suprising how quick the concierge team replies to any needs, shoutout to Afrah! She made my stay so wonderful and something to remember! And Sergey which is quick to put a smile on your face :)

You don’t have to engage much — it works even if you keep to yourself.

As someone who has recently moved to London for work, King’s Cross has been an ideal area to settle into. There’s a great mix of shops, cafés, restaurants and bars nearby, so everything you need day to day is within easy walking distance. Open spaces around Granary Square and along the canal are perfect for unwinding after work. Transport links are a huge plus — having so many Tube lines and trains nearby has made commuting and exploring London very easy. The street feels safe and well looked after, with regular bin collections and very little anti-social behaviour. It can get busy at peak times, but that’s expected in such a central location.

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

Yes they have, prompt responses and available at anytime

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

I didn’t realise how much the communal areas and resident events would help with settling into London. They make it much easier to meet people and feel part of a community, which is a big bonus when moving to the city for the first time.
