Author is located in a fantastic area to live in London because it combines convenience, character, and a lively city atmosphere. It has excellent transport links, making it easy to travel around London for work or leisure. Not far from the building you can find beautiful Lewis Cubitt Park,where residents can enjoy green spaces, walking, and relaxing outdoors. There is also a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants, and everyday amenities nearby. With its central location, attractive streets, and access to cultural attractions, King’s Cross offers a comfortable and well-connected lifestyle for people who want to enjoy the best of London.

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

It is very easy to contact management team or concierge team or in person or via WhatsApp in case of any issues - always quick update

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

Personally, my experience has been very positive. The building management team is reliable, professional and always helpful. I’ve had a good experience living here and would happily recommend it.

Modern Living with Convenient Transport Connections

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

Considering the price and location, I think it offers good value for money. There aren’t many restaurants or shops within the immediate area, but having the train and tram station directly opposite is a major advantage. It makes commuting and travelling to other areas very convenient. Overall, the transport links make up for the limited local amenities.

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

The building management team has been responsive whenever I’ve raised an issue. They acknowledge the problem and aim to resolve it around three working days. For example, when I noticed that I hadn’t received the inventory PDF, they took note of it and arranged to follow up.

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

I would recommend clarifying which utilities and services are included in the tenancy and which need to be arranged separately. It can save you quite a bit of time and confusion after moving in.

Living in central London can be quite daunting but granary square being extremely close makes it worthwhile, lots of shops and clean parks.

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

Excellent, it's almost like living in a 5 star hotel.

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

Heating and cooling can work out quite expensive - but other than that all good.

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

So close to the station, breweries, coffee shops and a climbing wall. Can get to central London super quick. Pretty quiet, but sound does travel easily.

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

It’s so quick! Am very impressed with the efficiency in which problems get sorted. Mel and Jason in the property management team are so great and always help us when we need and make us feel so at home here. The community events are also really great.

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

How great Mel and Jason are. It’s like having friends built in. Also that you don’t have to worry about being at home when things are delivered as there is a parcel room.
