The building is very well designed with lovely modern interiors to give a very aesthetic and elegant feel. I’ve really loved using the communal spaces with friends and family. The facilities are also fantastic with the new gym which makes me motivated to exercise. The space provided is huge and all the equipment is up to great standard with lots of variety. The property is also managed so well with a brilliant and responsive team who are ready to help as best they can and ensure all us residents are happy and taken care of.

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

It is so convenient living here. The location is fantastic with grocery shops and restaurants within a 2-5 minute walk. Canning Town tube station is also within just a 1-2 minute walk away- practically right in front of the building! There is ample of parking within the Morrison’s car park which is also convenient. The community around the building and shops is nice with many young professionals and families. I’ve really enjoyed all the conveniences here.

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

Any problems or issues we’ve had were well received and actions were immediately taken. It is very easy to log on issues on the app and the team is very helpful.

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

Be aware of the construction and traffic noises because it is a high traffic, and rapidly developing area!

The development itself is really lovely. I’ve benefitted from the communal co-working spaces and the free gym which are beautifully designed. The parcel room is secure and really useful, I’ve had no issues with delivery drivers not being able to access the development to deliver parcels. The communal areas are always clean and tidy and residents use the spaces respectfully. There are cleaners seen regularly in the hallway areas of the development. There are regular residents activities like free massages, food tastings, and craft evenings. The building management team are so friendly and helpful and are always on hand to help with any queries (huge shout out to El, Jennifer, Jaime, and the security team who have made staying here so easy). Would absolutely recommend Nautilus Apartments to anyone and I’m sad to be leaving!

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

The area is incredibly well connected with the underground, DLR, and bus station right opposite the development. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes, and amenities to choose from in the area. I’ve used the underground carpark for 2 years and have had no issues. I’ve not witnessed any anti-social behaviour and feel really safe in the area, particularly with the on-site 24/7 security team based at reception. Bin collections are regular and there’s always space for rubbish. There’s no traffic noise at anti-social hours.

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

The building management team have responded quickly to any issues in the building and the flat itself. The team are incredibly supportive, friendly, and helpful! They have made staying in the building a pleasure.

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

The development has changed and been updated for the better since I moved here in 2024. Grainger seem quite committed to upgrading things regularly. I wish I’d known about the outdoor terrace when I’d moved in, it’s great in the summer months!

5 ⭐️ service by Val

I can’t give Val enough praise for his services. I recently moved into the Bussell Building and requested my tv to be mounted to the wall along with a cable trunk and a few canvas’s put up on the wall. Val showed up and managed to fit me in that very day. He did an outstanding job, nothing was too much hassle and I wasn’t even charged! Couldn’t be more grateful, this man is a credit to the Coppermaker square team. 5 ⭐️

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

Very good, close to the Westfield and train station/ transport links. Walking distance to town. Can’t fault the location

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

Great, always responded in a timely fashion. Maintenance always on hand

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

Nothing that comes to mind. Everything was handled properly

The development feels modern and a bit more elevated than others I’ve seen - you can tell there’s been attention to detail. The communal spaces are finished to a high standard too. The gym could be a bit better equipped, but having one on-site is definitely a plus. The flat itself is a good size, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well equipped the kitchen is. The standout for me has to be the views. In terms of property management, Bex and Maria have been incredibly helpful from the first viewing through to after I moved in. They’ve both been attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience feel really smooth. Having moved around quite a bit, that kind of support goes a long way. Please pass on my thanks to them both - they’ve been great.

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

Really convenient location - about a 2-minute walk to the Jubilee line with easy access into Central London, plus good DLR links. Shops and a gym are close by, and the area feels safe. I’ve found it a comfortable place to live.

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

Any queries or issues were handled quickly, with helpful and efficient responses.

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

wish I’d known in advance how helpful the staff would be. Having lived in similar buildings before, the level of service here is noticeably better.

Improvements happening!

Central House, E15

Apr 2026

The building has recently undergone an RTM process, meaning a board of directors (who are also residents) have been appointed and Firstport have been kicked out. Since this has taken place there's been massive improvements to the overall running. The new management company are communicative and responsive. Since they've taken over the reception area has been redecorated and additional CCTV cameras have been implemented. Short term lets have been cracked down on and all but eliminated. The cost of service charge has almost halved since the building has been taken over. I have faith that further improvements will be made and things are on the up for Central House.

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

The local area is great, access to the Olympic park and a short walk to Westfield shopping centre. Pudding Mill lane DLR station is a very short walk, with it only being one stop to Stratford station. The building is located on a busy road but is gated and set back far enough that there's rarely an issue with noise. Parking availability is only for those with a registered bay with this being enforced by an ANPR camera.

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

The mismanagement of the building by Firstport is something I wish I had known, but thankfully the building is finally being improved.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location is great as well as access to important transport links.
