Excellent Place to Live in London!

Elrich Bezuidenhout (Tenant)

Canada Gardens, Wembley Park, HA9

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

The local area is a very convenient place to live, with a good range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and other amenities nearby. Public transport links are excellent and make travelling around London easy. The area generally feels pleasant and well connected. There can be some traffic and noise at busy times, but overall I have had a very positive experience living here.

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

The building management team has been amazing whenever I have raised an issue. They respond quickly, communicate clearly and make sure problems are resolved efficiently. I have always found the team friendly, professional and genuinely helpful.

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

I wish I had known before moving in just how convenient and enjoyable it would be to live here. The building is well managed, the team is very helpful, and everything is kept to a high standard. I have had a great experience and would definitely recommend it to a new neighbour.

Amazing experience living in Ferrum

Ali K (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Ferrum, Wembley Park, HA9

Aug 2026

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

The range of quality of local shops, restaurants, bars is great, particularly with the designer outlet near by. The only thing missing would be a pharmacy/boots near by rather than having the closest one situated in Wembley central. I like the fact that there are yellow barriers on event days which adds a level of safety and security.

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

The maintenance team are friendly, quick and thorough in their approach, all matters are handled with care.

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

It would be great if the team could host a "get to know my building" tour every month which can be optionally attended by new residence who moved in. There's a lot of facilities which may have been covered in viewings and after moving in there may be questions new residents may have which can be answered as well the opportunity to meet other new residents. This may also reduce noise received from new residents to staff if they see a pattern of questions being asked by new residents (how do I book parking for guests, which switch to flip if electricity goes, how to reset the intercom etc..)

Brilliantly run building in the best part of Wembley Park

The Robinson, Wembley Park, HA9

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

Wembley Park has come on hugely in recent years and it is a genuinely easy place to live. Wembley Park station is a few minutes' walk with both the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, so central London is around twenty minutes door to door, and Chiltern services from Wembley Stadium station are handy for getting out of town. The London Designer Outlet, Boxpark and the growing cluster of independent cafes and restaurants along Olympic Way mean you rarely need to travel far for food or shopping, and there is a good Sainsbury's and an M&S Food within walking distance. Union Park and the smaller green squares dotted through the neighbourhood are well kept and lovely in summer. Because the estate is privately managed the streets are clean, well lit and pedestrian-friendly, bin collections happen quietly in the background and I have never had an issue with anti-social behaviour. Event days at the stadium and arena do bring big crowds and the area is noisy for a few hours, but it is easy to plan around and is honestly part of the character of living here.

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

Anything I have raised has been picked up quickly and without fuss. Reporting a maintenance issue through the resident app gets an acknowledgement the same day and someone usually attends within a day or two, and the team follow up afterwards to check the work was done properly rather than closing the ticket and forgetting about it.

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

Check the event calendar for the stadium and arena before you pick a viewing slot or a moving date - the area is transformed on event days and it is worth seeing both versions of the neighbourhood before you commit. Also make proper use of the shared spaces from day one rather than treating them as a nice extra; the lounge, workspace and outdoor areas are a big part of what you are paying for and they are what makes the building feel like a community rather than a block of flats.
