A guide to living in Greater London

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

Everything is walking distance, transports included. Perfectly safe as well! Great cafés and restaurants around and of course right next to O2 but the windows and walls all have noise cancellation so you barely hear anything!

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

Honestly the only bad thing I would say would be certain expenses like service charge, bills and everything but with everything you get in return makes up for it %100

What is the best feature of your home:

The facilities provided, gym, pool, cinema room. Small market area, the lobby. Also comfort cooling is great!

Bad aspects: - Very difficult to commute to/from if you're a working professional. The thameslink service to kings cross is unreliable and the tube station is too far away to walk daily (~20 minutes). Very inconvenient in hot/rainy weather. - Not much to do. Some improvement on this part, but generally the area is going to be a building site for the forseeable future, compounded by the noise, dust, and people that come with it. - Unsafe after hours. The lighting is not great in communcal spaces, especially if you need to walk to the tube or thamselink station. Security on site mostly absent, not enough. - Groups of youths that look very suspicious keep walking around and cat calling ladies. - Access to Heathrow or Gatwick is a pain as generally not good transport links. - Transport links get very expensive very fast. - Wish there was a gym close by I could go to because our one is very badly managed and uncomfortable. Good things: -Nice cafe has opened at the GF of one of the buildings. -Coop on the ground floor is very helpful when you need stuff.

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

See point above. Multiple residents have apparently flagged too hot gym to management. It was fixed but for some reason we seem to have gone back to having an uncomfortably hot environment "because it's winter"??? Ridiculous approach. I tried flagging the new manager but he was mid kicking off to a staff member, so I walked away. Generally, not a good impression.

The reviews are genuinely good when you look at them, but then you realise that they are left by people that are here for a very short time. Once you've been here longer you start seeing the pattern and the real issues.

The location is fantastic — there's a great variety of supermarkets, cafes and restaurants nearby, plus IKEA is easily accessible and the area has some wonderful museums. Transport links are convenient and the neighbourhood has a lovely feel to it.

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

All issues were eventually resolved, and the quality of the work was good even if response times were slow. However, no compensation was offered for the noise and disruption caused by the nearby construction, which was disappointing.

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

The construction nearby started shortly after I moved in, which brought significant noise — worth checking the surrounding area for any planned developments before signing

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

Living in Greenwich is simply lovely. The building is barely a 5-minute walk from Cutty Sark, Greenwich Market, and Greenwich Park, giving you the perfect mix of a lively atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. The building is also very well connected, with Cutty Sark DLR just a short walk away, while Greenwich Station provides direct trains into central London in around 20 minutes.

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

We’ve had a few minor issues with our appliances, but the team has been very prompt in handling them and arranging maintenance to come in and fix everything quickly.

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

The building has a designated smoking area in its outdoor terrace. I’m not a smoker but my husband was definitely happy to learn this once we moved in!

The location is excellent, with great transport links, restaurants, shops and everything you need within walking distance. Canary Wharf feels very safe, clean and well maintained, and it is a very convenient area to live in.

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

The response from the wider management team has not always been as efficient or responsive as I would expect. Some issues have required repeated follow-ups before being resolved. This is completely separate from my experience with the concierge team, who are consistently responsive, kind and extremely helpful. I would particularly like to mention Galya at concierge, who always goes above and beyond to help and has consistently provided an exceptional level of service.

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

I wish I had known how much of a difference having a helpful and friendly concierge team makes to everyday life. The location is also incredibly convenient, with great transport links and everything you need nearby.
