I do love living at the blossoms however I wish there was a better parking situation

Jane D (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Blossoms, CR0

Jun 2026

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

Lots of grocery shops and clothing shops nearby. Lovely cafes and restaurants too. If you enjoy having a drink there’s many pubs and bars too. Transport links are great to get into central London. Parking is a nightmare though, you cannot apply for a permit to park on the street. The nearest parking lot (Morello car park) costs £217/month to park your car!!!!!! Which is extortionate. You will hear the train from your flat but you get used to the noise.

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

Yes they have responded to issue I have had but I often have to chase for responses.

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

I wish I knew which way the flat was facing (ie north facing or south facing) I also wish I knew how much the parking was going to be.

Great job done by Stuart

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

The local area offers a good range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and bars, making day-to-day living very convenient. There are several parks and open green spaces nearby, which are ideal for walks, exercise, and family activities. Public transport links are excellent, with regular bus services and easy access to train and underground stations, providing convenient connections to central London and surrounding areas. Living on the street is generally pleasant and peaceful. Bin collections are reliable, and the area is usually kept clean and well maintained. Parking can sometimes be limited during busy periods, but it is generally manageable for residents. Traffic noise is moderate and depends on the time of day, although it is not usually disruptive. Anti-social behaviour is minimal, and the neighbourhood feels safe and welcoming, making it a comfortable place to live.

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

Building management has generally responded professionally and efficiently to any issues I have raised. Communication has been clear, and maintenance requests have usually been acknowledged promptly and resolved within a reasonable timeframe. Staff have been courteous, helpful, and willing to provide updates when necessary, which has helped ensure a positive living experience. Thanks Mr Stuart

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

One thing you may not notice during a viewing is how friendly and respectful the community is. The building is generally quiet, and management is approachable if any issues arise. I would recommend introducing yourself to neighbours, familiarising yourself with waste collection schedules, and exploring the local amenities and transport links early on.
