A guide to living in Greater London

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

Amazing range of shops and restaurants being in the Olympic village area with access to Hackney Wick and Stratford depending on what you prefer. Transport links to Stratford are great and the area around the Olympic village felt very safe generally.

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

They would respond on the day itself that I’d raised issues via the app usually, extremely prompt service.

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

Look at where the building is located, not a bad thing for all but some blocks back on to communal gardens which can be noisy where kids are playing. Ours was facing the main road and quite high up so not an issue personally.

Living in E20 is genuinely convenient - you can walk to Stratford and Stratford International in minutes, with loads of buses and quick links across London. Westfield is close for supermarkets, gyms and essentials. It is busy at peak times and you will hear traffic and occasional event noise, but overall it feels safe and well lit.

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

Very fast and friendly - getliving maintenance team usually resolve things on the same or next day!

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

The flat can get very warm as the buildings are really well insulated! But this is a good thing

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

The area is really the downside of this development. There’s not really anything nearby (I.e. a good restaurant; bars etc). There’s a retail centre with some stores, which is great, and the canal where you can walk and run (better during the summer). But if you want to do anything or go anywhere you always need transportation. The area is well connected, you have the station in front of the building.

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

They always responded on time and are very good. I never had any issue.

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

It seems a practice for these developments to have some promotions when you join and then, when you want to renew, you get a very high increase in your rent. But it’s not particular to this company.

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

The local area is really nice - a lot of restaurants and small shops. The space itself is really well kept and nicely designed.

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

Building management review and fix any issue within 1-2 days, truly next level service!

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

The soundproofing between flats is so good - you never hear any of your neighbours!

We moved in just over a year ago now and have been in love with our Home since day 1. The building is well maintained, never an issue and the team onsite are super helpful. All the facilities are excellent, and we may well have one of the best home gyms in the market. On top of this the location of Greenwich is perfect, taking me 10 mins to commute to London Bridge for work and we pretty much have everything we need on our doorstep. Couldn't imagine living anywhere else so we recently extended our lease by another 3 years. There's also a lot of great local shops, bars and restaurants aswell as schools and parks.

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

Anything that we've needed help with has been managed and resolved very quickly without issue, and the building are very proactive on maintenance and keep us well informed.

Good things are low cost to run vs other apartment buildings. 2 bed 2 persons costs approx £100 a month in utilities vs other places where Ive paid substantially more.
