Fit for purpose - it's not a full neighbourhood but good density of placemaking makes it a worthwhile place to live i.e. reasonable mix of amenities and F&B in immediate locale. You need to go further out i.e. battersea power station or neighbouring areas for a full retail offering. Nine Elms is somewhat served by an awkward appendix of an already medusa-ed Northern line. Its location immediately adjacent to the trophy that is the US Embassy has its pros and cons depending on what Trump has to say on X at any given time. There's also one further phase left to the site so it is a building site during the week

Building site by week, protest site by weekend !!!

What is the best feature of your home:

Communal spaces - unfortunately no private dining space so the ambassador workspace (which I like to use) is often hired wholesale for events...seems like an oversight not to have both

There is lots of shops and cafes around the area with a good variety. Battersea Park Train station is opposite the building and the underground station is about a 10 minute walk. Lots of buses near by and Battersea park literally less than 5 minutes walk across the road. Cannot hear anything in your apartment when the windows are closed but when the windows are open, you can hear the trains passing by.

Kim always responds quickly and gets maintenance issues resolved either the same day or the day after

Slightly pricey for the apartment as you can find similar buildings which have more facilities included, but overall love the apartment and location.
