Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living on High Street North, East Ham (E6 1FA) is a very urban, well-connected experience — it’s not quiet suburbia, but it has a lot going for it if you value convenience, community, and a lively local scene. Local Shops, Restaurants & Bars There’s a strong variety of local shops on and around the high street. You’ll find traditional corner shops, halal butchers, greengrocers, and small supermarkets, reflecting the diverse community.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has generally responded quickly and professionally to any issues I’ve raised, keeping me updated and resolving problems in a reasonable timeframe.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how busy the area can get at certain times of day, especially with traffic and footfall. It isn’t obvious during a viewing, but it can affect noise levels and parking. I’d also say it’s worth getting familiar with the local bin collection schedule early on, as it helps keep things running smoothly. Overall, nothing major, but these small insights make settling in much easier.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good transport connectivity, supermarkets and salons are close by. Overall a good location and locality. But since it’s right on the high street, traffic noise is a bit much sometimes. Bin collection is handled by the building management and is no fuss.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The issues with apartment are raised through an app and it gets readily serviced in 1-2 days
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known the traffic noise could be so intense at some points in the day and night, can never sleep with a window open in summers

Stratford is not the best area but Coppermaker is very conveniently placed in the middle of everything in Stratford, you are literally 3 min walk from the nearest M&S and there are asian supermarket, etc nearby!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Good, some problems can’t be helped like my signing to the app but overall good. Sai is a very great receptionist especially when she helps us during move in and explaining everything when we just got to Coppermaker. Very informative also. I hope every receptionist can be like her
