A guide to living in Royal Docks

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

Really good in terms of transport convenience links open spaces and bars around. Parking availability is not great due to new constructions, bin collections are slow and can get some anti social behaviour

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

Very well have sent information and giving me opportunity to explore other options

How convenient it is for transportation and links to daily shopping

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

The area has a good mix of local shops and independent cafes, along with a few well-known chain restaurants and bars. There are several green spaces nearby, perfect for walks and relaxation. Public transport is generally reliable, with regular bus services and a nearby train station, although buses can sometimes be delayed at peak times. The street itself is fairly quiet and residential. Parking is usually easy to find, and bin collections are consistent. There’s little to no anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is minimal, making it a pleasant place to live.

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

Building management has been prompt and professional in responding to any issues raised, usually resolving them quickly.

I wish I had known how limited the on-street parking can be during evenings and weekends—it’s not always clear during a daytime viewing. Also, the walls are thinner than expected, so you can occasionally hear neighbours. I'd recommend new residents check bin collection schedules early on and get familiar with local shortcuts for avoiding rush hour traffic. Despite these small things, it's a lovely community with friendly neighbours

Ideal for a peaceful and quiet location in London. Sewage plant near can sometimes mean the smell reaches the development and can be noticed at times.

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

Poorly, very slow almost non existent response, requires constant chasing.

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

Lack of parking main issue, after being told parking was available with the flat at an extra cost, as they co timid to advertise.

I think as someone not from London, I love the area! Perfect amount of things to do and great for guests

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

I have had a few things happen but these have been solved writhing the same day

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

Nothing!! I was told everything and had no suprises

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

Quiet area and transportation links are great. Unfortunately, there is only one restaurant, one coffee shop and one pub. There is potential for more but I believe that soon will be more shops opening. Since I move in 2022 few places open which means that in few years it get more things to attract. The opening of the nurseries last year was a great addition and it will bring more families to the development and therefore more business. Concierge is good. There are few playgrounds with limit options for kids under 2/3 years. Parking is a nightmare. If you invite friends here and manage to get a parking space in the visit area they only can stay for 4 hours maximum which is not ideal. Another thing is that you are not allowed to store your bike in the balcony because there is a bike store in the garage which is great. However, after almost two years my bike got stolen from the bike storage. Besides that it’s a great development to live in

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

Yes, with the app seems to get quicker response rather that emails

The parking availability will be nice to know in advance Also, if I knew I will sell my bike before get stolen in the bike store, as I was only using it during the summer.
