Argo Apartments, E16

May 2026

We’ve genuinely had a really good experience living at Argo Apartments so far. Any issues we’ve had, whether it’s appliances or general wear and tear, have always been resolved quickly, which makes a big difference day to day. A huge shoutout to Paul and Angela in particular. They’ve been amazing at responding promptly and making sure concerns are actually followed through. We had quite a bad pigeon dropping problem on our balcony, and they didn’t just acknowledge it. They arranged for cleaners to sort it out and even installed the netting themselves. Everything was handled quickly and properly, which we really appreciated. The reception team has also always been really helpful, whether it’s handling parcels, helping with printouts, or organising social events. It all adds to the experience. The gym is slightly under-equipped, but it’s not a big issue since The Gym Group is right next door. Location-wise, it’s honestly great. Being right opposite Canning Town station makes commuting super easy, and having places like Lidl, Morrisons, and the post office nearby is really convenient. Overall, it feels well-managed and it’s reassuring to know things get dealt with efficiently. Thanks again to Paul and Angela for all their help!

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

The area is very convenient with a good range of local shops and essentials nearby, including Lidl, Morrisons, and a post office within easy reach. There are also some decent restaurants and cafés in the surrounding area, and it’s easy to find open spaces (docklands) a short distance away for a walk or fresh air.

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

Building management has been very responsive and efficient in dealing with any issues we’ve raised. Everything from appliance-related problems to general wear and tear has been addressed promptly. Paul and Angela in particular have been great at following up quickly and ensuring concerns are properly resolved.

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

One thing to be aware of is that the on-site gym is slightly under-equipped, although it’s not a major issue since there’s a The Gym Group right next door. Also, access to the upper floors is strictly controlled via key fob. It’s great from a security point of view, but it can sometimes be a bit of a hassle when letting delivery drivers or guests in.

So far everything is great. The conceirge is very helpful and the apartment is well appointed. The best part of it is how pet friendly it is both from the facilities and from the fellow residents. The apartment itself is very modern and spacious with lots of light. Manav who did my key handover and the induction was extremely professional and pleasant. He toom his time to show me all the facilities and went the extra mile in explaining some nuances to me, especially having moved from another country. Kelly has also been spectacular, and for some reason she is the one who ends up handling my parcel and mail queries - with the utmost professionalism.

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

We have just moved in and there hasn't been anything bad to note. Generally pleasant and vibrant. A stones throw away from the mall and station.

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

I've had no issues so far and all the initial reading have been provided.

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

The actual street entrance to the building that I am living in is a bit busy on a main street.

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

This place is in a dream location with Canning Town station bang opposite (closest a building could be to a tube station), with Morrisons and Lidl literally a min away, Pret and Starbucks in the same building, there can be no complaints at all. The amenities in the building are good, and the people are so nice. The team sitting at the concierge is extremely helpful and the apartments itself are well furnished.

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

They have been very responsive, and have attended to our requests promptly

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

None, honestly, the team was transparent in the on-boarding process

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

Argo Apartments is directly opposite the Canning Town Station, with the jubilee line and DLR this is really convenient. Having both Morrisons and Lidl next door makes grocery shopping really easy and the local cafes are lovely.

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

Building Management has been excellent at dealing with any problems I have raised, they are clear on the timelines to solve the issue and minimise any problems I have as much as possible. I have really appreciated the effort they put in to making the living experience at Argo as great as possible.

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

The benefits of living in a building with an on site team like this one - from collecting parcels to dealing with maintenance issues, this has been much easier than other places I have lived in London.
