A guide to living in North West London

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

In terms of local amenities, there's admittedly not a huge amount right on the doorstep. I understand the building is in an industrial area that's slowly being regenerated. While transport links are decent, not having a go-to Tesco or any other convenience shop within a five-minute walk can be a bit frustrating. On the upside, I absolutely adore our close proximity to Wormwood Scrubs Park. We love taking our dog there every chance we get. The neighbourhood also feels incredibly safe, which really puts my mind at ease – especially at night.

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

We never had any significant issues thus far; however, they have been quite helpful with any query we've had over the past year.

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

One thing I wish I knew of beforehand is the close proximity to the tracks, which can be quite annoying at times due to the sound pollution. On the other hand, I also did not know that we'd be so close to such a big park! Which is a big plus for dog owners.

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

I had a fantastic stay here. It is located in a convenient location with lots of shops/ cafes / beauty salons and gyms near. There is a Waitrose oposite and on the doorstep of Finchley Road station , making it a very easy commute for those working in central London. The area is also a short walk away from lots of pretty areas such as Hampstead heath. I always felt safe living in this area.

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

Very very quick at fixing any issues and readily available to help at all times.

The neighbourhood feels very safe, which is a big plus. It’s also great having both Wormwood Scrubs and Little Wormwood Scrubs parks just a short walk away – perfect for outdoor walks with our dog. There’s a Tesco Express about 10 minutes away, and the nearest station is around a 12-minute walk, offering access to the Bakerloo line and several overground services like the Mildmay and Windrush lines. The 220 bus stops right in front of the building, which is super convenient. The only slight downside is that some amenities aren’t directly on your doorstep, but overall, the location is very well-connected and pleasant.

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

Personally, I haven’t had any issues, but from what I’ve seen, the team is very proactive and always ready to help. They respond quickly and genuinely care about residents’ experience in the building.

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

Nothing at all – everything was very transparent from the start. The whole process was smooth, and there were no surprises once I moved in.

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

A very convenient location, Jubilee line, Met line and train are available. Lively environment, with different kinds of shops, and a few parks for children.

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

Building management team is nice and helpful. They followed up and shared the info in details.

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

There is a market near Sainsbury during weekends. Variety is large, it’s a good chance to support smaller sellers and farmers.
