A guide to living in Borough of Haringey

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

The buildings are directly in front of Tottenham Hale station, I have never had such a quick and easy commute. There’s a few grocery stores within a few minutes walk, and there’s plenty of restaurants within a short walk.

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

This is a new building and I haven’t seen many problems. If there is anything minor, the reception staff look at it straight away.

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

I had always thought Tottenham was quite far away from central London, but the Victoria Line journey is so fast. With this building being outside the tube station I feel like I’m able to access central London really easily.

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

The location is great. You're only a few minutes from the station and bus routes, so getting around is really easy. The Victoria Line means you can get pretty much anywhere in London quickly, and having a direct train to Stratford is a real bonus too. There are loads of shops nearby, which is really handy. One of the best things about living here is being so close to Walthamstow Wetlands - it's lovely having such a large green space right on your doorstep

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

Building management have been really great and helping me get settled and answering any of my queries.

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

Explore all the restaurants in the surrounding areas as there's a lot more than I thought!

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

Very close (2 mins) away from Tottenham Hale station and very quick to central London. The local F&B offering is good quality (Holy Grail, Mother Kelly’s, etc). Wetlands are also 10 mins walk and great for outdoor walking/running. There was a football match on locally today and we were out and about and were not impacted. There is however no parking on site but understand that this is a local requirement.

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

We were unsure how to reduce the temperature and thought this was due to the underfloor heating. The facilities team have a WhatsApp and responded very quickly to explain the system and assist in reducing the room temperature.

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

The flat is very well insulated and retains heat well. Simplistic thing to do is open all the windows to quickly cool the flat is the underfloor heating has been used previously.

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

It works brilliantly for me, as Tottenham Hale station is just around the corner, with great links into the City and Stratford only 10 minutes away. There are plenty of good spots to eat and shops like Lidl, Tesco, Asda Express, and TK Maxx. The High Cross, a local pub, does the best steak I’ve ever had, while The Ferry Boat Inn serves traditional English food that you can eat out in the beer garden under the apple trees by the canal.

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

Any queries I had were dealt with promptly and professionally.

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

I’m genuinely impressed by how far this area has come in recent years. It’s undergone so much regeneration, with all the new developments making it a really attractive place for new tenants. I'm really looking forward to seeing more restaurants and high-end shops open here soon.

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

Great transport links in and out of the area. Really nice selection of restaurants, bars and shops nearby.

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

I have not had any problems or issues staying at the property.

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

There is a lot to do nearby so I would encourage exploring beyond the property.
