Argo Apartments, E16

Apr 2026

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

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

Argo Apartments, E16

Apr 2026

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.

I’ve really enjoyed living at Adlay Apartments on Millet Place. The building is well designed with a modern finish throughout, and the facilities are kept to a standard. The property management team has been brilliant! Special mention to Fatou, who has been an absolute star. She’s always responsive, incredibly helpful and goes out of her way to make residents feel looked after. Any issues I’ve raised have been dealt with quickly and professionally. Would highly recommend this development to anyone looking to live in the Royal Docks area.

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

Royal Docks is a great area with loads going on. The Elizabeth line at Custom House makes getting into central London a breeze, and there are plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby. Gallions Reach shopping park is close for essentials, and the waterfront walks are a nice bonus. The area has really come on in recent years.

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

Good and timely manner. There’s also been minimal issues.

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

I wish I thought more about the gym facilities as it’s not “useful” for my needs. Very Minsk equipments and space.

Grainger - A pleasant customer experience

Fortunes Dock, E16

Apr 2026

The facilities within the development have rapidly improved over the last couple of months, with beautiful co-working spaces, a resident only gym, safe storage for parcels and mail, access to underground parking, as well as all other external amenities all within 5 minutes of the property. In addition the customer service team with L, Jaime and others have been incredibly helpful with sorting out anything that needs attention in the property. The whole team is an absolute joy to talk to and chat to! They also consistently organise fun events and socials for the residents which is always lovely.

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

Many grocery stores and pharmacy close by, as well as direct access to the underground station. The position between the O2, Canary Wharf and Stratford make this an amazing location.

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

Building management has been amazing. Had a couple of issues that were promptly resolved. Very quick, and very informative with anything going on.

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

I didn’t realise the extent of the facilities as well as the level of customer service I’ve experienced from the team. A very pleasant surprise!
