Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Nine Elms is a very new and dynamic neighbourhood in London, very international in feel, right on the river with great views along to Westminster and the London Eye. It's changing daily because of the scale of development but amongst all that, the coffee shops, restaurants like Brunswick House and thoughtful green areas are building a sense of community and belonging which is exciting to watch bloom.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Promptly and helpfully. I have been impressed by all the staff at Bloom Nine Elms, and four in particular who have been so kind in helping me move in, Doyin and Khulood on Reception in Bloom East, Owen in Maintenance and Izzy in Reception in Bloom West. It's so lovely to live somewhere where you're greeted with a warm smile and a team who can't help you enough.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Parking on the day is very limited (one space) and there is only one trolley for carrying boxes, which is usually in use, so make sure you have some help with you for moving in!
