A guide to living in North London

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

Really great location. Right in central London with good transport links— nothing is ever too far away. Great restaurants and shops around too! Very peaceful area to live in.

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

Generally it’s been a swift response. Ernest is amazing and always on top of matters.

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

Nothing really. It’s met my expectations in every respect.

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

It is a very residential area. It is right next to several supermarkets, close by to a leisure centre and post office, and steps away from the tube and bus stops. Location/amenities nearby is the best part about living here. The neighbourhood is generally quiet, but because there’s a big sitting area right in front of the building, you hear a lot of people yelling outside/smashing bottles in the middle of the night.

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

Yes but very slowly. Many are time sensitive (such as no hot water, the window won’t close) and the management will take several weeks to address them.

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

This is a building that will require you to keep chasing for them to help you do or fix anything.

The building is 5 minutes away from the brand new and vibrant Coal Drops Yard which is a major point. Transportation wise : being in the close vicinity of Kings Cross and St Pancras makes a huge difference.

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

Excellent : quick and taking account every needs we had.

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

Nothing yet : we are really happy about everything.

Living in my local area offers a balanced mix of advantages and challenges. One of the strongest aspects is the variety and quality of amenities. The neighbourhood has a good range of local shops, from small convenience stores to well-established supermarkets, making daily needs easy to meet. There are also several restaurants and cafés offering diverse cuisine, along with a selection of bars that provide a pleasant atmosphere for socializing. In addition, the area benefits from well-maintained parks and open spaces, which are ideal for relaxation, exercise, and community activities. Transport links are generally convenient. Bus services run frequently, and the nearest metro station is within walking distance, making commuting straightforward. However, during peak hours. Road traffic is usually manageable, though congestion can build up during rush hour. Life on my street is relatively peaceful. Bin collections are regular and handled efficiently. Anti-social behaviour is never seen. While there is not traffic noise during busy parts of the day, it is not disruptive and tends to quiet down in the evenings as well. Overall, the area provides a comfortable and practical living environment with a generally positive community atmosphere.

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

The building management has generally been responsive and helpful whenever I have raised an issue. For example, on the day I moved in, I discovered that the previous tenants had changed the Wi-Fi password, so the code provided by the building management was no longer valid. I discussed this problem with Marija, and she responded immediately. She came the very next morning to address the issue on-site and resolved it efficiently. Overall, their willingness to assist and their quick follow-up have been very reassuring.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how supportive and approachable the building staff truly are. This is not something you fully understand during a typical viewing. The concierge team and management are always ready to help, and their friendliness creates a very welcoming environment. Knowing this earlier would have made the moving process feel even more reassuring. I would tell any new neighbour that they can rely on the team here—no question is ever too small, and support is always just a moment away.

The transportation links within the area is fantastic. This consists of several bus routes and Tottenham Hale station being within 5 mins walk. The bin store is surprisingly always usually clean and neat, free of any foul odours. Although we are based by the main road which links Blackhorse Road to Tottenham Hale, there is no traffic noise. Unfortunately there is no parking onsite or much around the area. There is a beautiful canal outside and the apartment has spectacular views of the wetlands.

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

Very quick and efficient. Always transparent. Onsite team accessible all the time for help.

I wish I researched about parking in the local area.
