Very close to the train station which is very convenient. There is a lot of shops around but sadly no big supermarkets

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good connection to transit with SWR (when it works) and lot of bus options, close enough to Tooting Broadway that there’s lot of shopping options. It’s a nice suburban London area.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any issues I’ve had are almost always fixed within a day.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The events put on are quite fun and most everyone is friendly and willing to chat even if it’s just for a minute. The building will feel a little like a maze at first but you’ll pick it up quickly.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area feels safe and is well connected since the overground is really close by and there are various bus links. There are a few supermarkets nearby so everything is convenient and well connected.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management is efficient and if there is a delay in any request they let you know.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the rent may go up each year and I found out by speaking to other tenants which can be stressful because I would have secured the lease for longer to begin.
