Pleasant apartments, terrible common spaces in the middle of Ilford.

Nov 2025

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

I can only write good things about the area, it is very close to Sainsbury's Supermarket, Iceland, Exchange Shopping Centre, Nurseryk, GP Practice etc...

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

Problems in the apartment are handled within a reasonable time (not always professionally, but only casually), but they do not respond to common areas, cleanliness, and security issues.

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

There were no problems when moving in, the problems arose after the change of management. If you want quick and professional solutions to your problems, if you want clean and usable common areas, don't move here. But the apartments are great and the neighborhood is very livable.

APO Kew Bridge review

Lucila P (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Apo Kew Bridge, TW8

Nov 2025

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

Kew Bridge is a lovely area, it’s close to Chiswick and Richmond for big, known stores but at the same time not so busy as those neighborhoods. The essentials are covered: supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, gyms; And most importantly, it’s very well connected: district line 10 min walk and the train station just outside the development. Despite not being crowded every time, finding a parking spot is hard, as there are many buildings and most of the surrounding streets are for permit holders only. APO for instance has parking spaces available but because of the stadium it’s inconvenient: if a match takes place on a weekend (which basically happens every other weekend) you can’t use the parking road 2 hours before and after the match.

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

Fast, assertive, and very helpful. Everything was sorted every time we had an issue, luckily it wasn’t that many, but they’ve been always mindful about our needs

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

Every week they bring a food truck where residents can buy at discounted prices, it’s a nice initiative… but, if your flat view is the central square between Galleria, Marsden and the stadium, the smell is not nice, mostly in the summer

Title: Changes in Our Community- Balancing Growth and Traditio

Nov 2025

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

My local area offers many advantages, such as excellent public services, a strong sense of community, and good transport links. There are also plenty of green spaces and cultural activities. On the other hand, there are some drawbacks, including high living costs and occasional traffic congestion. Despite these issues, I believe it remains a very pleasant place to live.

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

The building management has generally responded well to any problems I’ve raised. When I reported issues such as a broken light in the hallway or a leak in the bathroom, they acted quickly and sent maintenance staff within a day or two. They are polite and usually keep residents informed about repairs or updates. Overall, I’m satisfied with how they handle concerns.

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

I wish I had known more about the parking situation before moving in. There are limited spaces, and they fill up quickly, so it would have been useful to arrange a spot in advance.
