A guide to living in East London

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

The local area is very convenient and pleasant to live in. There are plenty of shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants nearby, which makes day-to-day life easy. Public transport links are good, with bus and train/tube options within a reasonable distance. There are also some nice open spaces for walks and exercise. The street is generally quiet and feels safe.

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

Building management has generally responded well to any issues raised. They are polite and helpful, and most problems have been dealt with within a reasonable timeframe. Communication has been clear, and I feel that they take residents’ concerns seriously.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that parking can sometimes be limited at busy times, so it is worth planning ahead if you have a car or regular visitors. Apart from that, the development is convenient, comfortable and easy to settle into.

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

Very convenient for central London. I love the local pub scene. My flat is also very quiet considering how central it is.

This place is in a dream location with Canning Town station bang opposite (closest a building could be to a tube station), with Morrisons and Lidl literally a min away, Pret and Starbucks in the same building, there can be no complaints at all. The amenities in the building are good, and the people are so nice. The team sitting at the concierge is extremely helpful and the apartments itself are well furnished.

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

They have been very responsive, and have attended to our requests promptly

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

None, honestly, the team was transparent in the on-boarding process

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

Argo Apartments is directly opposite the Canning Town Station, with the jubilee line and DLR this is really convenient. Having both Morrisons and Lidl next door makes grocery shopping really easy and the local cafes are lovely.

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

Building Management has been excellent at dealing with any problems I have raised, they are clear on the timelines to solve the issue and minimise any problems I have as much as possible. I have really appreciated the effort they put in to making the living experience at Argo as great as possible.

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

The benefits of living in a building with an on site team like this one - from collecting parcels to dealing with maintenance issues, this has been much easier than other places I have lived in London.

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

This area is central and relatively safe - never had any issues in 5 years time. The proximity to the Sainsburys, local shops, Limehouse station and Cable street cycle lane makes it a very well connected location. Local buses stop next to the building as well which is very helpful to move around.

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

New built are built well and provide superior quality in terms of amenity and durability but are sold at a premium. We used a snagging inspector before buying who highlight some very minor issues that could be fixed before we completed.

What is the best feature of your home:

Location is great for both the City, West End and Canary Wharf, good service charges under control compared to all other new builds, essential features of the building work great, great views of East London on upper floors, Community is great with like minded young professionals that own most units
