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.

As long term Walthamstow residents - I can say finding The Eades right in the heart of the area has made it even more brilliant! The tube, overground & buses station on the doorstep - you can literally head anywhere! Access to local shops, bakeries and coffee shops along the High Street or Hoe street or just a 10 minute walk to St James you can find everything you need living here right out the front door!

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

Yes, anytime through email or personal chat at front desk. Building Manager and Resident Hosts are 5*

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

Nothing more to add, as mentioned The Eades and Way of Life have delivered.
