Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in Stratford is super convenient for getting into town and home again after. The night tube on the jubilee line makes a huge difference and who doesn’t love the Elizabeth line.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The maintenance team are excellent and always respond quickly and flexibly to any problems.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How busy it can get when there is an event at the London stadium and the impact it has on access / deliveries.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Lots of crime and dodgy people around the area, local shops are good but they’re always completely empty
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They ignored them. I had a broken floor board that was cutting my feet and making them bleed and they haven’t even bothered to repair it in a year.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That it’s AWFUL in general, people are nice but the management is abysmal

Pros of living in Millet Place, Pontoon Dock: ✅ Excellent transport links – Pontoon Dock DLR offers quick access to Canary Wharf, the City, and London City Airport. ✅ Peaceful and scenic – Riverside views and proximity to the Thames Barrier Park create a relaxing atmosphere. ✅ Modern development – The buildings and public spaces are clean, new, and well-maintained. ✅ Low crime and anti-social behaviour – The area feels safe and quiet, with a respectful community. ✅ Close to green spaces – Ideal for walks, exercise, and unwinding outdoors. ✅ Decent local cafes and services – Royal Wharf nearby has coffee shops, small eateries, and essential services. Cons of living in Millet Place, Pontoon Dock: ❌ Limited shopping and dining options – Fewer choices locally; need to travel for a wider variety. ❌ Busy public transport at peak times – DLR trains can be crowded during rush hour. ❌ Aircraft noise – London City Airport is nearby, and planes can be heard frequently. ❌ Parking can be difficult – On-street and visitor parking is limited. ❌ Bin collection issues occasionally – While usually reliable, communal bins sometimes overflow. ❌ Less vibrant nightlife – Quiet in the evenings with fewer bars or late-night venues.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management is generally responsive and professional. Most maintenance issues are resolved promptly.
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 how noticeable the aircraft noise from London City Airport can be, especially during early mornings and weekends. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. I’d also advise new Neighbours to register for parcel lockers and speak with the concierge early on—it helps avoid missed deliveries.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in the Fizzy Rathbone Market area has been a generally positive experience. One of the standout advantages is the excellent connectivity – with Canning Town Station just a short walk away, commuting into Central London or Canary Wharf is quick and convenient. The area also benefits from a variety of local amenities including supermarkets, takeaways, and a growing selection of cafés and independent shops that add to the community feel. The development itself feels secure and well-maintained, and there’s a good mix of residents which brings a sense of diversity and vibrancy to the neighbourhood. It’s also great to see continuous regeneration in and around Rathbone Market which is improving the overall appeal of the area. Overall, it’s a practical and well-connected place to live, especially for young professionals and families.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been responsive and helpful whenever any issues have come up. Minor problems like lighting, plumbing, or furniture-related repairs have been handled promptly — thanks in large part to Paul, who is incredibly skilled and reliable. He often goes above and beyond to ensure things are fixed quickly and properly, which really makes a difference in daily living. The communication from the management team is generally clear, and they’ve been approachable whenever assistance is needed. Having such dependable support on-site brings real peace of mind.
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 just how much care and attention goes into the building’s maintenance and day-to-day operations. It really adds to the sense of ease and comfort when you live here. Another pleasant surprise was the first-floor garden space — it’s a peaceful, green retreat that’s perfect for taking a break, reading a book, or enjoying some fresh air. For new neighbours, I’d also suggest making use of the parcel locker system and getting to know the on-site team early — they’re friendly, helpful, and make settling in feel seamless. It’s small touches like these that turn a modern flat into a real home.
