A guide to living in South West London

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

Great area in general. Tons of shops and restaurants. Right on the river. Not really any parking, as expected but safe and clean. Lots of building and traffic noise as usual.

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

Maintenance is good. Any other questions are very frustrating. Staff have been extremely rude on occasion. Rarely reply to emails and when they do they are incorrect on things like finance.

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

Probably wouldn’t recommend. Nice to have a pool but way over priced for the service.

I like Florence dock because of the nice restaurants , coffee shops , atmosphere near the river and safe feeling. Well connected by buses and close to Clapham junction. I think the area surrounding is slightly less safe however Florence dock is a very warm place to return to.

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

I haven’t come into many problems raised, perhaps only whether there could be a room for storing a suitcase which the team are looking into.

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

I don’t have anything really I need to add here - I’m quite content with the information shared when moving.

Overall a really great place to stay. Immediate area is sparse due to not as many shops (just a Co-Op round the corner and a Tesco 5 mins away) but a 10-15 minute short away is Clapham Junction. Also Battersea is not far and the location is nice by the river.

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

Yes they fixed whenever the fuse breaks (only a few times). Took a little while to fix the previous tenant’s damage to my flat’s bed but otherwise good.

The actual room set up that you get is potentially different to the show room you are shown when touring during a viewing.

I’ve been living here for over a year now and it’s honestly been a great experience. The transport links are excellent — with easy access to tube, rail, and bus connections, and Battersea Power Station is just a short walk away, offering even more shopping and dining options. Within the building itself, there’s a great Asian supermarket, the Atis salad bar (perfect for healthy lunches), and a beauty shop opening soon, which adds even more convenience. The area feels safe and lively with a nice mix of residents and local amenities. It’s a fantastic place to call home.

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

Excellent always sort the problem out within a day or two. Sometimes within a couple of hours

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

One thing I’d recommend is joining the residents’ WhatsApp group as soon as you move in. It’s a really friendly community, and the group helps you stay up to date with everything from building updates to local tips and social events.

It’s very peaceful here and the people are so nice in this area. There’s a supermarket and a medical centre directly next to the building which is perfect for snacking and medical emergencies. Clapham Junction is just a 12 minute walk away or there are 2 busses you can take there if you don’t want to walk. There is a direct view of the river and you can go for a stroll on the riverside directly in front of the building. Great area and very convenient.

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

Very efficient and fast. No time wasted. I once requested a lightbulb change and the guy knocked on my door 5 minutes later. Any questions or concerns are answered immediately at the reception desk or by email. As I mentioned before, Kafi and Derron are amazing and address all the concerns asap. Kafi even helped my friend finish all the required steps and move in with a few days notice!

Fell in love with the area and how peaceful it is.
