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

There’s a lot exciting things to do in Canary Wharf, for example there are activities you can do on the river, lots of fun restaurants in the area. also a Asda, Tesco and co op nearby which makes grocery shopping easier. The only negative I would say is the price of things around here, if you want to get your hair or nails done it’s very expensive. There is also no corner shops which can come as an inconvenience for some.

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

Whenever there is an issue with stuff in the room, maintenance come fix it the very next day.

Living in Bromley-by-Bow is really convenient day-to-day. You’re close to Stratford/Westfield for big shops and restaurants, and there are enough local supermarkets and takeaways nearby for the basics. The best part is transport: Bromley-by-Bow station is easy to reach and getting into the City/Canary Wharf is straightforward, plus there are plenty of buses. For green space, it’s nice being near the canals and parks for a walk or run.
