I wish I had known just how good the roof terraces and the views would be — it would have made the decision to move in even easier! The co-working space is also a fantastic facility that I didn't fully appreciate until I started using it regularly.

Me and my wife who where expecting out first baby in 2026 was looking for a new place and new chapter to start out new lives, me being from Cardiff both coming to visit for my younger brother birthday had come across wood street we made an inquiry as we both started to look to relocate from London. Having moved in late 2025 and expecting our baby, our baby girl was born on 8th of January and wood street had been amazing on helping us out, our apartment is a 1 bedroom and there is plenty of space. I would highly recommend this place, it has an amazing team days and nights, a fantastic location as well and a place to start a new chapter in your life.
