Once an important trade hub, the Royal Docks is now a thriving waterfront neighbourhood in its own right, packed with high-rise residential blocks, offices, hotels and restaurants. It gets its name from three docks – the Royal Albert Dock, the Royal Victoria Dock and the King George V Dock. The ward is in the borough of Newham, with a prime spot on the River Thames.

Design of the building is lovely
Amazing range of shops, cafes, restaurants, pub as well as amazing facilities such as the gym & pool. However, the gym is always super busy and the pool/ spa facilities are always breaking/ closed therefore I hardly use it because of this. There’s been an increase of targeted crime in the area i.e. post theft/ phone theft which hasn’t been the nicest part of the last year.
Please review your development:
The overall design of the building is lovely, great interior design and aesthetically pleasing buildings on the wharf. We’ve had a few minor things needing fixing in the apartment, we used to get things fixed very promptly but over the last year or so this has slowed down significantly therefore takes a few weeks to fix. Concierge is great if you need anything, just wish there was a concierge per building as it would reduce the amount of anti social behaviour happening.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew how busy the gym was/ the pool & spa facilities not working regularly – the area is always sold with these facilities in mind but fail to tell you that actually they’re not a bonus.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they have, they were very prompt initially, but over the last year or so this has slowed down significantly therefore takes a few weeks to fix.
