A guide to living in North East London

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

Super close to the tube and the wetlands for walks. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed but you can walk them down the canal close by. A couple of nice cafes and the breweries but no pubs . Some traffic noise in balcony but nothing of concern at night.

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

Some of them , yes. It is much better now with new management. Was hard to get a response during team changes.

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

I wish I had known that current residents would not be favoured for loyalty when it comes to yearly renewals and that instead concessions are only offered to new people coming in

My fiancée and I have lived here for over five years, and we absolutely love the area. Having the Wetlands on our doorstep has been amazing, especially for walks, and one of our favourite spots is Walthamstow Village, where you’ll find brilliant restaurants and pubs for every day of the week. The commute into work on the Victoria line has also been fantastic, with the station only a two-minute walk from the property. It has been a real game changer for getting to and from work.

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

They have been awesome, very quick turn around with any issues.

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

I would have loved a facility to have a BBQ, and because we are right on the edge of the wetlands we do have a-lot of bugs especially in the summer time.
