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

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

I love the area because of its close proximity to everything—restaurants, shops, bars, and excellent transport links. Local amenities are varied and high-quality, with great options for dining, shopping, and socialising. Public transport is very convenient with frequent buses and nearby train stations. The only downside is that parking can be quite expensive, which is something to consider.

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

The building management has been excellent since the new team took over. They are responsive, proactive, and easy to communicate with. This is a big improvement from the previous management, which was disorganised and slow to deal with issues, especially Laszlo Resident Services Manager is always happy to help and solve problems.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in was how expensive and limited the parking would be—it’s definitely something to consider if you own a car.

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

Wembley Park is a really continent place to live with excellent transport links on your door step. Local amenities from Asda, Lidl & Sainsbury’s to the LDO and GP’s. I love the fact I don’t have to travel far for necessities.

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

There has been an increase in positive communication since Lazslo and his team took over.

Plan ahead! Keep an eye on event listings for Wembley Stadium and make sure your shopping is done the day before! I love the atmosphere but it can get super busy :)

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

It’s nice living in Wembley Park, easy route to the station and loads of shops around you. Event days are very busy but the council / building are good at managing it and things get cleaned up and back to normal quickly after, notice is also given.

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

Mostly okay, one major request which took some escalation and we are still waiting on.

It’s so nice living in an area where security are always walking around, the biggest plus as a woman. For Alameda specifically, package system works really well and we’ve never experienced any theft etc, gym is great and 24/7. Bin system has gotten better under the new management. Come to Alameda you won’t regret it :)
