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.
