I wish I had known how friendly and helpful the building staff are, especially the concierge team.

I’ve been living here for over a year now and it’s honestly been a great experience. The transport links are excellent — with easy access to tube, rail, and bus connections, and Battersea Power Station is just a short walk away, offering even more shopping and dining options. Within the building itself, there’s a great Asian supermarket, the Atis salad bar (perfect for healthy lunches), and a beauty shop opening soon, which adds even more convenience. The area feels safe and lively with a nice mix of residents and local amenities. It’s a fantastic place to call home.

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

Excellent always sort the problem out within a day or two. Sometimes within a couple of hours

One thing I’d recommend is joining the residents’ WhatsApp group as soon as you move in. It’s a really friendly community, and the group helps you stay up to date with everything from building updates to local tips and social events.
