Living at Gallions Point in E16 is fantastic. The modern apartments, scenic Thames views, and excellent transport links make daily life convenient. Nearby amenities like Gallions Reach Shopping Park and green spaces add to the appeal. The area’s ongoing regeneration creates a vibrant community, blending tranquility with easy access to central London.

Parking can be limited and expensive, which might be an issue for those who rely on a car. This is worth considering beforehand.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best aspect of my home at Gallions Point is undoubtedly the breathtaking views. I can watch planes gracefully take off and land at London City Airport, and the glittering skyline of Canary Wharf creates a stunning backdrop, especially at night.

Living & Community: Living in Coppermaker Square is a much more than just renting a home. The team has put in thoughtful plans to establish a community and connect residents together -- they hold vibrant and diverse events for free from aroma therapy, Halloween get-together, music workshop, guided walk, to cuisine masterclasses (my only complaint is that it can be extremely hard to hold a place). The team offers a whole lifestyle that goes beyond the competitive facilities like swimming pool, gym, work-space, and sauna. Location: The location is convenient, with walking distance to Westfield shopping mall, metro station, and almost all major supermarkets. Yet the constant crowd around it can be overwhelming and stressful as well, and I'd say it's definitely not my favorite part to walk around the overly commercial, almost homogenous neighbourhood, with features that all commercial areas from major cities share. I previously lived around King's Cross and Shoreditch, and both neighborhoods were much more London-chic and lovely to walk around. Small Private Garden & Pet Friendly: Encountering people walking their dogs is always a small serendipity of my day.
