Best apartments and amenities in South East London!

Aug 2025

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

A large Tesco (Full size not express) is right beside the building. A brand new large asian store called Kiki and MiuMiu just opened and the train station is right beside the building as well DLR and Southeastern Railway (20 mins to central) Lewisham shopping centre car park 7 mins walk away, £90 per month.

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

The landlord and managing staff respond quickly and promptly to issues. A true pain is the third party utility company Homebox…

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

The pain with trying to get a decent monthly utilities price.. Other than that living here is enjoyable and peaceful.

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

Area is convenient and public transport is well connected. The only problem is that Pest controls can be improved.

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

As I said we raised a maintenance request regarding door battery but management team didn’t send people on the time we have talked about.

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

Overall is good. The facilities, service and cleaning in the building are all very good. I hope the door lock can be repaired soon.

Manager response

Hello Hailey, Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the positive experience you’ve had with our front of house team and Junior from maintenance , we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced with the door battery repair and the missed appointments. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’re currently reviewing internal communication processes to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Regarding the pests outside your window , thank you for flagging this. Our windows are due their next clean soon and i will ask the contractors if anything can be done here to mitigate this issue. Your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us improve the resident experience. Please don’t hesitate to contact the management team directly if there's anything else we can assist you with, especially regarding your door lock, which we’ll prioritise.

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

Close to london bridge. It is very convenient and easy to travel to the city centre. I love this location.

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

The building management generally responded to my problems on the same day.

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

I wish I know how the flats of different directions looked at different time of the day.

Manager response

Dear Jason, Thank you for your great review and for sharing your experience with us. We’re so pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the facilities, especially the gym and games room, it’s always nice to know these shared spaces are adding value to residents’ everyday lives. It's also fantastic to hear that you've found the location so convenient, with easy access to central London. We truly appreciate your kind words about our on-site team, particularly Junior. He takes great pride in his work, and we’ll be sure to pass along your feedback, he’ll be delighted to know his support has made a positive impact. Thank you also for your comment regarding flat orientation and natural light at different times of day. That’s a helpful insight, and we’ll take it into consideration as we continue improving the move-in experience for future residents. We’re grateful for your recommendation and glad to have you as part of the community. Warm regards,

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

To be honest it’s great not having to get the underground and the fact that we’re only 1 stop to London Bridge on a train is great. We don’t drive but when our friends come to visit they struggle to find parking, that’s the only downside, not having parking.

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

Any problems we’ve had they have been very efficient

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

The only issue we have is our window is right by a courtyard that the public uses and it can feel invasive as it’s right the sitting room window. Had we known about this before we moved in we might have taken a different flat. We would prefer if it was closed off from public use.
