A guide to living in Greater London

Very convenient for traveling. 2 minutes walking you got train station, maybe 5 minutes you have big Saintsbury's, lots of small shops and food shops around. Building is very nice and new. Everyone from management team is very nice and always able to help.

I am writing this review to share my experience and warn potential buyers. My nearly new, highly distinctive £3,000 bicycle was stolen from the designated bike storage. The root cause of this devastating loss is a fundamental failure regarding the building's facilities and management. This development operates behind a facade of luxury, but the management shows a complete lack of basic standards, and there are massive security loopholes in the building's facilities. 1. The Absurdity of the Facility Management I have attached three photos to illustrate the sheer absurdity of this situation: • Image 1 shows the pristine, bright, and fully secure bicycle storage at Winchat House—my own building. • Image 2 shows the dark, overcrowded, and chaotic facility at Beeley House. • Image 3 shows the exact spot where my bicycle was left. Because all racks were completely full, I had no choice but to place it on the floor next to a "Wet Floor" caution sign. The only reason I felt it was remotely acceptable was that it was directly beneath the CCTV camera. I ask you to reflect on this fundamental question of common sense: Why would any resident of a brand-new building voluntarily abandon the facility in Image 1, and instead park their highly expensive, discontinued bicycle on the floor of the chaotic facility shown in Images 2 and 3? The only answer is that the on-site team took me to Beeley House twice, explicitly instructed me that this was the only place I could park, and falsely claimed the secure facility (Winchat House) did not exist. 2. Massive Security Vulnerabilities and Flawed Design The management argues that both buildings have the "same security measures." This completely ignores the fundamental physical environments and the psychology of a thief. I have personally visited and compared both locations: • Beeley House: An older, cramped facility. The distance from the lift to the bike store is extremely short, and the layout is highly exposed. This is a massive security loophole. For a criminal, this environment is incredibly easy to navigate. A thief can casually tailgate and reach the bikes within seconds. • Winchat House: A brand-new, well-organised facility. The route from the lift is much longer and far more concealed. For a thief, this extended, hidden route creates immense psychological pressure. Even a thief would think twice about casually tailgating someone deep into a concealed building like Wenxin House. This stark difference in physical vulnerability is a fact that the on-site property management team is fully aware of. 3. Known Vulnerabilities & Failure to Warn Residents The official investigation admits the thief gained entry via a "Fireman's Key" and "tailgating." If the management knew of this severe security vulnerability, why was no anti-tailgating measure installed? Why were residents not warned? Instead, I was assured it was "very safe." You cannot conceal a known security loophole from residents while charging high service charges. 4. A Facade of Security To illustrate this complete failure, I have personally witnessed a cut bicycle lock left on the ground outside our building, with the bike stolen. If my bike had been stolen outside on the open ground, I would not blame the building management. However, my bike was stolen from a designated, access-controlled room where I was promised safety. Because of the lack of basic anti-tailgating measures, the security of this building is a facade. 5. Official Response to Facility Issues To demonstrate the lack of accountability, here is the exact response I received regarding this facility failure:"Following discussions and reading your correspondence, we cannot agree that Berkeley are in any way liable for this theft... Liability sits solely with the person responsible for the theft." "Our internal investigation finds that the thief entered the car park using a Fireman’s Key... commonly known as tailgating." "Our Estates team have confirmed that the exact same scenario would have been possible at Winchat House. The security measures are therefore the same..." This is how this developer handles building security flaws. They admit the thief used a 'Fireman's Key' to tailgate, but still claim the security is identical and refuse to take any responsibility for the facility's failure. Avoid them at all costs.

Development is nice and new! Gym is absolutely excellent addition, and the bar with terrace is just perfect for little parties with your friends and family. Its very convenient. Co working spaces are big and modern, working from home is just made easier.

Development is really nice. Everything in the apartment is new, very stylish, the colors and design is really nice. It doesnt feel like most of the newbuilds with white walls and white furniture. Hallways are kept clean, communal areas as well. So far its nice to live here

Inside the development, the facilities add another dimension to living here. Having a gym, coworking facilities and concierge service means the building offers more than just the individual apartments. These are features you actually appreciate in everyday life.
