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

Greenwich is a great area, with lots of green space and museums. I love being on the river, and visiting all of the local sites. My favourites are the Painted Hall and the Queens House, and — of course — Greenwich Park. Transport links from the development are good — Maze Hill is 15 minutes’ walk, and Cutty Sark and North Greenwich about 25 minutes. There are also a couple of buses to North Greenwich at the end of the road. Traffic flow is better since the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel.

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

Make the most of what Greenwich has to offer by exploring the museums and the park. Especially on weekdays when they are less packed.

What is the best feature of your home:

It’s quiet and well laid out, and the development is very well maintained. It’s cheap to heat and build quality is good. There’s lots of security so it feels safe.

Literally the best place to live in Cutty Sark

Anonymous (Tenant)

Union Wharf, SE8

Sept 2025

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

The area is nice but there are a lot of tourists, and there is quite a lot of phone theft in the area. Otherwise it’s a beautiful place to live and right near the markets and park.

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

Very swift to reply, never any issues or back and fourths when something naturally breaks from wear and tear and always helpful when we needed a new appliance or if something was faulty. Couldn’t fault the service at alls

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

I really cannot think of anything the team was very transparent before we moved in.

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

Greenwich is a fantastic place to live, with plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants, especially near Greenwich Market and along the riverside. Greenwich Park is a beautiful green space perfect for walks and relaxation. Transport links are excellent, with easy access to trains, buses, and the DLR.

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

The management team is incredibly responsive, addressing any issues quickly and efficiently.

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

For anyone new moving in, I highly recommend joining the community events they host. They're always fun and a great way to meet your neighbours and feel more connected.

Manager response

Thank you so much, V. Liora. We’re delighted to hear the building feels safe, welcoming, and stress-free, and that the team has been able to support you so promptly. It’s lovely to know the facilities and community spirit help make Greenwich living feel at its very best.

Great Living Experience, with an Exceptional Assistant Manager, Loredana

Arora Tower, SE10

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

Living here has been a really positive experience overall. The highlight is definitely the view of the Thames – it’s absolutely beautiful, and walking or cycling along the river is a real pleasure. The location is also very convenient, with North Greenwich tube station and plenty of bus routes nearby, making commuting into central London quick and easy. That said, there are a few drawbacks. The area feels more geared towards transport and leisure than residential needs, so things like clinics, fitness classes, and other local services aren’t as easily accessible. Parking is also quite limited – there’s no street parking or designated visitor parking, which can be inconvenient when hosting guests. Overall, it’s a great place if you value stunning views and easy transport links, but worth considering the lack of residential amenities and parking.

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

The building management has been excellent — especially thanks to Loredana, who goes above and beyond to support residents. The concierge and cleaning staff are also very friendly and personal, which really adds to the living experience. What I wish I had known earlier, however, is that dealing with Right Now Residential (the estate agent) would be such a challenge. Our experience with them has been poor, with very slow responses and little action taken on our requests (such as when something was broken). Thankfully, the Tower Management and in particular Loredana, have stepped in many times to follow up and resolve issues that the agent simply ignored. The spa facilities are occasionally out of service, but management’s gesture of offering an additional discount to residents is really thoughtful and much appreciated. Improved communication about any outages would make the experience even better.

What is the best feature of your home:

Not just saying this, but having Loredana as the concierge truly makes a huge difference to the living experience. Her support and care stand out every day. On top of that, the amazing Thames view and access to the hotel facilities make living here feel really special.

All shops are really close to me , transportation is less than a min walk and the area is really safe .

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

Always Quick and efficient in any issue that came up

Just the window cleaning (outside) needs to be scheduled more often , that’s all. Especially for apartments without balcony .
