A Great Place to Live

The design of the development is modern and functional. The flats are well-insulated and don't need much heating in the winter, though they can get quite hot in the summer. The facilities are excellent, and the common spaces are particularly impressive—they are always clean and well-kept. The building management and property management teams are efficient and quick to respond to any issues. For example, when an appliance breaks, a technician is usually able to fix it the next day. The only negative is the hot water, which has had one or two incidents of issues per year. Despite this, the overall atmosphere is pleasant and it feels very secure. The development is designed with residents in mind, offering comfortable and practical living spaces.

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

Greenford is a fantastic area to live in, with a great range of local amenities. The proximity to a Lidl and M&S makes grocery shopping incredibly convenient, while the scenic canal provides a beautiful backdrop for walks and relaxation. It's a very dog-friendly area, and the community has a welcoming feel. The common spaces are well-maintained, clean, and provide a relaxing environment. Transport links are also reliable, making it easy to get around. So far, I've had no issues with parking, bin collections, or anti-social behaviour.

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

The building management is quick and helpful. When I lost my access card, a colleague Violeta from management offered me a temporary solution using a mobile app, which was very convenient. The response to any issue has always been swift and effective.

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

Free coffee in the working space everyday and free fruit in the reception every week

I’ve lived at Lyons Dock for the past year and had a great experience. The building is modern, beautifully designed, and well-maintained, with excellent facilities that make day-to-day living easy and comfortable. What really stood out, though, was the team. A huge thank you to everyone at Lyons Dock for always being so helpful and responsive. Maintenance team were fabulous and timely. Special thanks to Rosy from the leasing team and Junaid from the on-site team, who consistently went above and beyond to sort things out quickly and smoothly. I’d definitely recommend Lyons Dock to anyone looking for a well-managed, welcoming place to live in West London.

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

The local area around Lyons Dock is great, with plenty of shops, cafés, restaurants, and green spaces nearby. The transport links are excellent, with easy access to the Central Line and buses. The area feels safe and well-maintained, and noise levels are generally low.

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