There is a big Lidl and local supermarkets within walking distance and some decent Vietnamese places on the high street. Just a big further is Canada Water and all that it offers. In the other direction Greenwich is a short bus ride away. The flat is close to the main bus routes to Greenwich, Surrey Quays and London Bridge. The development sits right opposite Deptford Park and the Thames is within walking distance. You have to put up with the trains but they aren't so bad.

I recently moved in and haven’t experienced any problems. A special shout out to Mimi. She has been incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional from the very beginning. She made the entire process smooth, straightforward, and completely stress‑free. It’s rare to come across someone so supportive and attentive.

Living at Fizzy has heaps of perks! It’s perfect for young people who work locally! Good Aspects - Flats are newly renovated - Rent is reasonable given the newly built development and additional perks ie gym included, often ensuite/2 bathrooms - Quick and efficient maintenance repairs - Good communication from building managers Bad Aspects - Carpets/walls in common areas could do with some cleaning - VERY warm outside on the common areas - Antisocial behaviour in the surrounding streets. Often lots of yelling in the evenings, accumulation of young people smoking, drinking and attempting to snatch phones

Promptly and efficiently. Mohammed has always come and fixed things with a smile on his face
