Living at Lyons Dock has been a very positive experience. The building and surroundings are always clean and well maintained, and there is a real sense of care in how the development is managed. A special thank you to Sewli at reception, who went above and beyond to help me with a time-sensitive parcel. She was polite, open in communication, and made sure everything was handled safely. Experiences like this show how supportive and attentive the reception and management team are. Overall, I feel safe and comfortable here, and I really appreciate the greenery and peaceful canalside setting.

Living At Lyons Dock

Darren L (Tenant)

Greenford Quay, UB6

Aug 2025

Living in Lyons Dock has been a pretty great experience overall, but there are a few standout things that make it feel like home, especially thanks to the amazing team here. First off, I can’t say enough about Martina and Junaid from the management team. They seriously go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether it's handling any issues promptly or just offering a friendly face when I need assistance, they really make you feel like a valued resident. It's rare to find such dedicated staff who genuinely care about the place and the people living here. Another big plus is Douglas, the cleaner. He’s always around, keeping the building spotless and taking real pride in his work. The common areas are consistently well-maintained, and I feel so much more comfortable knowing everything is cleaned and cared for daily. The working space here is fantastic, especially for someone like me who works from home a lot. It's quiet, spacious, and really conducive to getting things done. I only wish there were more booths or smaller, private spaces for video calls or when you need some quiet focus time. It can get a bit busy during peak hours, and a few more booths would make all the difference. One downside is the lack of variety in local shops and restaurants. It’s a bit of a walk or short drive to get to more dining options or shopping centres, but that’s something that’s slowly improving with new developments in the area. The bus service still leaves a lot to be desired. Buses can be hit or miss, especially at peak times, which can be a bit frustrating if you’re trying to get to work or meet up with friends. Overall, I’m really happy living here. The management team makes a huge difference, and the building itself is well-kept and comfortable. Just a few more amenities and transportation tweaks would make it great.

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

The local railway pub down the road is an excellent bar which has great food and weekend offers. The building parking spaces are not enough but I will not complain much as it is nearby the city.

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

Yes they normally do and I have noticed they are quicker on emails and resident portal. I like to go down in person if the issue has not been responded to within 2-3 days but that is not the case normally.

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

The roadworks nearby and traffic can get busy on oldfield lane north. It does not affect me much but can be a hassle in the early morning.

Manager response

Dear Darren, Thank you for your kind words, we are thrilled to hear you are enjoying living at Lyons Dock! It's our mission to create a welcoming and comfortable home for our residents, and we are so glad to know that our team, especially Martina and Douglas, have made a positive impact. Your feedback about the working space and transportation is greatly appreciated, and we are always looking for ways to improve. Thank you for choosing Lyons Dock as your home, we are grateful for your support! Kind Regards, Junaid Assistant Community Manager Greenford Quay

My home in london

As an expat it has been useful living in a place like lyons dock with closeby links and close proximity to central london. I like to visit totenham court road a lot so the central line gives me easy access. Lyons dock has an easy going attitude with resident keeping to themselves and a good team on the reception desk who are very cheerful and always ready to say hello. Courtney is super helpful and so has Peter & Junaid whenever i have had to talk about payments or anti social issues in the building. some residents are not respecting the community with dogs off leash and throwing rubbish in the wrong seciton but i see emails from management looking to address these issues. The security team is helpful and always here to help so i feel secure in the evening.

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

lyons dock as an apartment building has the most relaxing feel and its been great living here. I like the freedom to go to the other buildings to use the gym and other rooms. Working from home is a huge plus for me and there is always space downstairs in lyons dock or on the top floor in the lounge area. I really like it here.

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

they are responding to my emails and also happy to talk when i see one of them in the management office

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

more streetlights and brighter lighting in the winters when walking. the bridge between lyons dock and other buildings has youngsters gathering at night sometimes.

Manager response

Dear Chang, Thank you for your amazing review! We are thrilled to know that Lyons Dock has been a helpful and convenient place for you to live as an expat. Our team, including Courtney, Peter, and Junaid, will continue to strive for a welcoming and safe community for all residents. Thank you for bringing any issues to our attention, we are committed to addressing them promptly. Kind Regards, Junaid Assistant Community Manager Greenford Quay
