The area is a good blend of local London facilities (market, shops and transport) blended with some unique nature reserves which are quite unique to somewhere so close to central London, would recommend the area to anyone.

I had raised a couple of minor glitches which the management responded to very quickly
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothin more to add really it is exactly as I expected

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent transport link. Good Asian shopping but no good general shopping. Nearest good shopping is Westfield Stratford which is a journey by Elizabeth Line.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Received excellent customer service from Shift Property Manager, Sayeed. I mentioned to him about a minor fault with a curtain in our flat. Sayeed came up with me to the fiat and fixed that minor fault straight away. Thanks Sayeed for your help.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Very noisy traffic on the street. Most of the drivers coming into side street from the main road, going towards Sainsbury’s parking, do not indicate. This is a serious hazard for pedestrians trying to cross the road,

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is fabulous, super close to the tube, safe and great for families. Not enough parking, but overall fantastic.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I haven't raised any issues yet so this hasn't applied.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The coworking space is really fantastic and we've enjoyed the separation of work and home life.
Manager response
