A guide to living in Greater London

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

East Croydon is great for living and Ten Degrees is well located as it takes 20 minutes to get to Victoria or 30 minutes to reach Kings Cross. Gatwick Airport is also only a 15 minutes train ride away. The other good aspect of living here is that all major shops and restaurants are near. The high street is only a 5 minute walk. The bad aspect is that sometimes there is anti-social behaviour on the old closed building. Also as the Box Park is opposite it can get noisy and busy on main event days.

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

All repairs and issues have always been dealt within 24 hours.

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

The parking space in the basement is very large. I wish i had not sold my car before coming here as it could have been parked securly.

Very convenient location - have access to a range of food places and commuting to work is ideal as the station is opposite. Parking availability is quite poor and priced high at Ten Degrees.

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

We have not encountered many issues other than the 3-4 times the shower has been blocked. Maintenance sometimes take a while to address the request.

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

Was pleasantly surprised about the food options in the area.

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

It is great to be near the train station that has great links across London and beyond. This makes it really easy for commuters and for when we want to go up to London for a day out. Croydon itself isn't the best, you have a good supply of local shops and restaurants which is great but its not the most pleasant experience for shopping or exploring within the town, although within a short drive you can be in nature with some lovely open green spaces in Shirley & Beckenham or if you drive further away from London and head south. It is close to lots of great golf courses as well, which is great too.

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

We rarely have any issues but if we do have any issues, it gets sorted really quickly, usually on the same day.

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

Everything is pretty much exaclty as expected. It is a great place to live and there is everything that you need in the building. You rarely need to leave the building for anything.

Having settled six months ago, everything is good so far. I have not noticed something. I think the parking should be granted or less expensive given that rents are high.

We enjoy the commute from this location as it is close by tram, bus & overground station. From my perspective bad aspect is traffic noise which is manageable.
