Blackhorse Mills is more than just a home; it’s a way of life. Somewhere you can feel totally free.

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.

Beautiful development and great area

Blackhorse Mills, E17

May 2026

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

I’ve lived here for 5 years now and I absolutely love it! The staff are mostly really friendly and helpful and the facilities are amazing! I’ve always found the landlords really fair too. The gym management are a bit over authoritative unfortunately and the rules around the pool and brining guests are a bit restrictive for a resident gym. However, it’s really well connected and very close to some great local gyms, bars and social spaces. Generally a great place to live!

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

Ok, some have been dealt with timely and some not at all

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

The spiders! Altho they seem to have got on top of this now and it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be

Blackhorse Mills, E17

May 2026

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

Amazing location - close to the tube station (Victoria line), view over the wetlands, very close to breweries and restaurants. Can't be beaten. Very small amount of anti-social behaviour, some phone snatching at the traffic lights nearby but all round fine for London. It's a very community-driven area of London where people are friendly, lots of familes.

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

Typically they have been fairly quick, with some exceptions.

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

That you need to book the private dining rooms and tennis courts very far in advance!
