Blackhorse Mills is more than just a home; it’s a way of life. Somewhere you can feel totally free. To paint the walls, bring your pets, swim in the lido, chill on the roof terrace, work out in the gym, host friends in the dining rooms, stretch in the yoga studio... And a whole lot more besides. Overlooking the wilds of Walthamstow Wetlands, yet just 20 minutes to Central London on the Victoria Line from Blackhorse Road station, Blackhorse Mills has nature and city life down. Whether you’re after seclusion or connection, wildlife or a wild night, E17 is about balance and choice.

Great place to live

Sophie (Tenant)

Equipment Works, E17

Dec 2025

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

It’s great to be so near the high street, lots of shops nearby. Parking is limited and being in a 2 car household incurs extra parking charges locally

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

With incredible speed. Resolved one issue and pending parts being received for another one. Stuart was really helpful

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

N/A, we’re happy with the tenancy and location. Parking could be improved in the local area though

Well-Designed Property with Reliable Management and Great Amenities

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

Great location well connected with metro station nice local supermarkets and feels safe and quiet but the noise of traffic is major disadvantage.

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

They have consistently responded quickly and professionally, providing clear updates and resolving issues in a timely and reliable manner.

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

I wish I had known a bit more about how sound travels in certain parts of the building, especially during busy hours. It isn’t a major issue, but it’s something you can only really notice once you’ve lived here for a while. I’d also recommend that new neighbours test the mobile signal in their apartment—coverage varies slightly depending on the floor and side of the building. Overall, these are small things, but they’re helpful to know in advance.
