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

Excellent property with all amenities near by including the tube station to grocery stores like Morrisons and Lidl. The building is well equipped with a gym a co-working space and furnished apartments. Area is usually busy and currently there are road works going on but no other negative aspect that I can think of.

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

They are very prompt, Angela in reception is particularly helpful. I haven’t had any issues that I have had to report yet but the neighbours have all had the issues sorted very quickly.

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

It’s a good neighbourhood, there have been an incident or two but things are slowly changing. As per the apartment building all neighbours are well educated and professionals living in harmony and make each other feel comfortable, and are very helpful.

Stylish and Practical Living in a Bustling Neighbourhood

Shiv K (Tenant)

Fortunes Dock, E16

Apr 2025

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

Fortune docks in Canning Town is incredibly convenient to live in. It’s very close to the tube station, making commuting quick and easy. The area has everything one could need within walking distance—multiple supermarkets, Superdrug, hairdressers, nail salons, dentists, skin specialists, and more. It really feels like everything is right at your doorstep. However, the downside is the constant construction. There is always some sort of building work happening nearby, and that brings a lot of noise and frequent roadblocks which can be frustrating.

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

Yes they have, but sometimes it can be quite slow to get someone to come look at it

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

That there would be constant construction happening

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

There’s good variety of local shops and restaurants around the area, the proximity to grocery stores like Lidl, Morrisons, Tian Tian (Chinese grocery mart) is welcomed. Close proximity to Canning Town station which is well connected on the jubilee line and DLR. There’s also bus routes that serves the area well. There’s currently construction happening around the area which makes it difficult to move in and there’s constructions happening on the streets as well which makes it difficult to get around at times.

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

Building management issues are dealt with on time and promptly

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

The construction is still happening 6 months into moving in, I hope there provided a clear timeline on when the construction will be done, as noise could be heard when the windows are open
