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

The apartment is literally on top of Westfield, aka one of the biggest malls in Europe. Stratford is also fantastically communicated, although there are quite some weird people around the station, but they apartment is in a very save area!

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

Manav, Sareena and Jose and they have all been extremely nice and helpful!

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

We would have appreciate to know in advance that there was an storage space, as we got ours elsewhere because no one told us. You need to have plenty of time and patience for the rental checks. The events and building App are very nice surprises!

Horrible property- save your money and time!

Fleet at Royal Wharf, E16

Aug 2025

Management is absolutely horrible. It was a nightmare even trying to get someone to come fix a simple issue around the house. In fact I received my keys almost 2 weeks after my initial agreed upon move in date. I was living in a hotel, with all my stuff in a storage unit for almost a month due to poor service/ responses from management. They kept asking for new things or requirements everytime while processing my application instead of asking all the necessary paperwork in one go. I didn’t even get the original apartment that I had viewed and signed an agreement for- the day I was moving in, Wilfred took me to a completely new unit and I had no option but to take it because it had already been over a month of me waiting for a roof over my head. Any issues around the house? Forget about it- they’ll take ages to respond, never mind actual solutions. A broken window in my house took approximately 5 weeks to fix (when the guy actually came it took him about 5 minutes to fix it, whilst I suffered those 5 weeks during WINTER). I didn’t have a working stovetop for maybe 2 weeks. When they finally came to fix it, the guy said he needs another contractor to come in so he gave me a temporary portable stovetop , which I had for a month before someone came to fix it even though he said he’ll be back in a week. The dishwasher doesn’t work properly, there’s a constant smell under the sink. The lift breaks down once in a while, there’s no gym or social spaces or anything like that.

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

The area is great, beautiful views. But it stops there. There is one co-op near the tube station, and a corner shop in the area. No other shops anywhere unless you want to take a bus everyday and go to the shopping centre. The station only has DLR service, and this side of the DLR is mostly shut during the weekends- so bye bye weekend plans! There are maybe 3 restaurants and 1 bar around the area. The management won’t tell you this, but the property is very close to Beckton gas works- the largest sewage treatment plant in Europe, so there’s a horrible stench around the area once in a while.

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

Very poorly. They take a lot of time to even respond and when they do they take even longer to send someone to fix it.

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

I wish I had read my own review so I’d know NOT to choose this apartment even if I had to sit in a hotel for 2 more months.

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

The range and quality of shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces is great (two large playgrounds which is great for children) . There is also a gym, pool, GP, pharmacy, primary school, post office and other facilities. There are some allegations of anti social behaviour but I never experienced it personally.

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

I think the area is great, and do not have any major concerns.

What is the best feature of your home:

Flat and the area look great, there are brilliant facilities and I feel safe in the area.
