The local area is a fantastic place to live and is clearly an area that is going from strength to strength. Thames Barrier Park is a particular highlight, with beautiful riverside walks, plenty of green open space and exercise equipment available throughout the parks, making it ideal for families, walking and staying active. GP surgeries, schools and everyday amenities are all within walking distance, which makes day-to-day life extremely convenient. London City Airport is also nearby, which is a huge advantage for anyone who travels. Transport links are excellent, with the DLR providing easy connections to surrounding areas and central London. Newham Council has invested significantly in the area, and you can really see the ongoing improvements and development. It has a modern, up-and-coming feel while still offering beautiful open spaces and peaceful riverside walks.

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

The current building management team is very responsive and approachable. When an issue is raised, they are quick to listen, help and arrange for it to be resolved. Even with smaller problems, they never make you feel like you are bothering them and will always try their best to help. Their willingness to go above and beyond is one of the things I value most about living here.

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

I wish I had known just how much the development would have to offer. When you first view an apartment, you don’t always appreciate the value of having facilities such as an onsite gym, cinema room, residents’ dining room, Renz Box and 24-hour security. The location is also better than you might initially realise, with Thames Barrier Park, schools, GP services, transport links and London City Airport all within easy reach. Having lived here for 6 years, I have really appreciated the convenience and sense of security that comes with living here. One piece of advice I would give a new resident is to make the most of the facilities and get to know the onsite team — they genuinely go above and beyond for residents.

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

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

The building is close to Morrison and Lidle, which is convenient for grocery shopping. A nearby transportation station (Canning Town tube station). Nice location.

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

No problem and issues. All team members support high-quality services.

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

The soundproofing issue can be considered carefully. It will be noisy to stay near the main street and transportation hub if you open all the windows of the apartment all day.
