Yes they have - only when you chase them numerous times.

The practicalities of the development and how much of a nightmare it would have been!

Loving my move to London because of Bale & Anchor!

Chica Kirubakaran (Tenant)

Bale & Anchor, SE13

Jul 2025

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

The convenience of living right next to Lewisham station is unmatched. I thought I’d be too far away from Central but it takes about 15 minutes to get to London Bridge which is amazing. The Tesco beside our building is perfect because it has everything you could need. I think we need more local bars and restaurants but I’ve enjoyed what we have so far and we’re not too far from Deptford and Greenwich where there’s a ton to do.

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

Building management has been incredible. Super responsive and helpful. I want to reiterate that Junior is a great member of the team. Very helpful, professional and kind.

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

I wish I knew there was no air conditioning. I am used to being a bit cooler in my space.
