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

There is plenty of options right on your door step. From pubs to restaurants, even the high street which has a plethora of commercial fastfood places and equally as many super markets to go to. But why do so when tescos Is right on your doorstep 😘. Accessibility to get around the city is fantastic, from DLR, overground going into the heart of London or out of. The building team are fantastic as well! Very thoughtful and communicative. Always saying hello and nothing seems to be too much for them to help with. As I've been living here happily for 2 years now and was on of the first to move into the block

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

Sometimes it can take a moment to get through to someone and maybe a little more communication with organisation of needed to visit flats to do works. But otherwise fantastic

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

People who drive - doesn't seem to be much offering in terms of car parking

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

Love the community, the pubs and transport nearby. It is probably a little less safe that I would have hoped for.

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

Always respond. Sometimes immediate, sometimes with a wait, but they handle things that are not working and usually quickly.

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

I wish I had known that the area is a little dangerous at night, but regarding building itself - nothing.
