Amazing opportunity to stay in London

Riverstone Heights, E3

Sept 2025

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

The building is situated in a perfect are for someone looking to be close to the city centre and also have the privilege of being away from the noise of the city centre. Having a gym at arms reach a large supermarket and the district line 5 mins away you really do not need anything else. 10/10 location. The area feels very safe, especially compared to the city centre and also the above Mile End and the down south Limehouse.

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

The lifts were not operational at one night and you could see the staff doing everything in their power to mediate the situation as professionally as possible.

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

How safe the building. I believe the fob system for each location should be adopted by every major apartment building in the city.

Able to access the rear of the building for deliveries made things even easier than expected
