A guide to living in Borough of Ealing

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

Living in Lyons Dock has been a great experience overall. The area offers a good mix of local shops and supermarkets, with larger retail options just a short drive or bus ride away. There are a few nice cafés and restaurants nearby, and the open spaces like Horsenden Hill and the Grand Union Canal are perfect for walks, cycling, or just relaxing outdoors. Transport links are one of the biggest advantages—Greenford Station (Central Line and National Rail) is within walking distance, making commuting into Central London quite convenient. Buses are frequent, and the A40 is easily accessible for drivers. However, traffic can get a bit heavy during peak hours, especially near the main roads. The street itself is generally quiet and residential. Parking is available but can be limited at times, especially in the evenings. Bin collections are regular and reliable. There’s very little anti-social behaviour, and the area feels safe and family-friendly. Noise levels are low, aside from the occasional traffic hum during rush hour. Overall, it’s a well-connected, peaceful place to live with a growing sense of community.

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

Transport links are unmatched. Parking availability on our street is difficult, and it can get loud at night due to being next to student accommodation/The Foundry bar. Otherwise the street is great, and we have unmatched access to a Sainsburys, Tesco, and takeaways. Traffic noise can also be a problem sometimes due to the main road leading from Wembley passing by the building. Good access to Pure Gym/newsagents within a 15 minute walk away.

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

Slow, not well communicated between themselves and decision makers. It took over 18 months or so to fix the West Block ceiling, the bin store has always been a mess for the few years i've been here, slow repairs of doors that wouldn't close properly. Management are nice and well intended, but in terms of getting things done, it could be a lot better. I also booked the lounge for New Years Eve after being told 4 months in advance that this was fine. I checked a few weeks before hand again and was told it was fine. On the day before, I was told it was cancelled without reason, despite having made plans for friends to travel from Cardiff.

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

There isn't a stable property management team (e.g., long term - itself always changing). Facilities that were described and offered when viewing the property would be taken away a few months later.

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

Very good and open environment, but limited variety of shops. Have some distance away from retail park and subway stations but still within walking distance.

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

Generally fast response and helpful. They also greet tenants with smile and nice characters. They are also very pet friendly.
