Dolphin Square is surrounded by various shops, restaurants, tube and bus services. Battersea Power Station is located 15 min by walk and Victoria line tube is just 5 min away. Tesco express is about 6 min by walk which makes it very convenient in case you need to buy something urgently and it works till late as well. Several bus stops ranging from 2-6 min by walk which go to central, South East London should there be a strike on tube services. The area is very safe and quiet, as a woman I always felt secure especially during night hours. There are parking spaces available outside for visitors, taxi and inside for residents. A large number of trash cans are situated in the basement floor which was about 2 min walk from my block. I think the location of Dolphin Square is amazing as it is placed right in the centre from the places I usually go to and visit.

I was amazed by how helpful the reception and building management team were to help and resolve any issues that I encountered during my 2 years in Dolphin Square. The response was always quick and they would usually send someone same or next day to come, check and fix something.
