A guide to living in North London

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

I’ve had a very positive experience staying in this property. The building is quiet and well maintained, and I’ve never experienced any antisocial behaviour, which makes it feel safe and comfortable. The location is excellent: King’s Cross Station is only a 10–15 minute walk away, there’s a bus stop just a few steps from the building, and grocery stores are within a short walking distance. Granary Square is also nearby, offering a great selection of restaurants and coffee bars, and King’s Cross Academy is only a few minutes away on foot. The only minor downside is the sound of one of the nearby trains. However, it’s not very loud, and being on the 9th floor helps a lot — it’s easy to fall asleep and I’ve never been woken up by the noise. Overall, it’s a convenient, quiet, and well-located place to live.

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

Maintenance support has been excellent. When the washer/dryer in my apartment wasn’t working properly, the team responded very quickly and replaced it the same day. They were extremely helpful, efficient, and professional, which made the whole experience stress-free.

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

Honestly, there isn’t anything I wish I had known before moving in. The property, facilities, and location were all exactly as described, and my experience has matched my expectations from the start.

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

The area has been a great place to live. It’s very modern and packed with useful facilities, and the location is excellent. Being essentially in King’s Cross means I’m only a 5 to 10 minute walk from both the station and the nearest market, which makes daily errands incredibly easy. The neighbourhood feels friendly, with welcoming residents and a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, convenience and community are the strongest points here.

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

Management has been very responsive and easy to communicate with. Any questions I raised were handled quickly and professionally, and the staff are consistently friendly and supportive.

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

I wish I had known how busy the area can get during peak hours, especially around King’s Cross. It’s still very convenient, but being aware of the foot traffic and general busyness would have helped me plan my routine better.

I have lived at the Sessile for 18months. I find it to be a safe place with a lovely friendly feel to it. Outside the Sessile is the park. I have a dog and there is a friendly dog walking community. Transport links are amazing. It feels safe coming home at night and walking to the Sessile from the tube. Although a busy walk through from Tottenham to the tube station it is a quiet road with very little anti social behaviour. There are coffee shops, close by, a retail park 5mins walk away and a Health centre. It would be great to see more of the empty units opening up around the Sessile.

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

Building management respond immediately to issues raised. They are considerate when in the home and kind. Issues swiftly dealt with.

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

I think the Sessile community has continued to give. Whilst residents are private and there is a wide demographic it us such a friendly place with a real sense of community. Residents speak on corridors, in lifts , always a friendly face. It is pet friendly but the flats are well found proofed. This experience of community spirit can only really be felt when living here

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

Outdoor space is great (wetlands). Varied shops, restaurants (Walthamstow) retail park near the building and coffee shop and bars pubs by. Unfortunately, some examples of antisocial behaviour around Tottenham, but this isn’t new.

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

Yes, any flat issues are raised via the app are responded to in good time. Our oven cut out first week and had it resolved within 24 hours.

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

There is nothing in particular that comes to mind here

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

very Close to the tube and good shops nearby. Downside is there is a large road which is fairly busy.

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

they’ve pretty much always sorted stuff. Sometimes they get fixed right away . sometimes it took a bit longer but I belive this was because they were waiting for a part .

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