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

Sunday Mills is in such a great spot in Earlsfield. The area strikes the perfect balance between being peaceful and still really well connected. It has a genuine neighbourhood feel l, loads of independent cafés, pubs and local shops along Garratt Lane, and it never feels chaotic or overly busy. You can actually relax here. One of the best things is how close it is to green space. The River Wandle and nearby parks make it easy to go for a walk or run without having to travel anywhere. It’s ideal if you want that bit of calm after work. At the same time, Earlsfield station is only a short walk away, and trains into Waterloo are quick and frequent, so getting into central London is incredibly easy. There’s a strong sense of community in the area too and you see the same faces at the coffee shops, and it feels friendly and safe. It’s one of those places that feels tucked away from the noise of the city, but you’re still only minutes from everything you need

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

Everything is sorted immediately. I’ve never had to wait on any repairs and the system for organising these is great.

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

Definitely make use of the amazing facilities. Including the co working space! The events are second to none for meeting people too. It feels like a rel home.

Incredible location and amenities, right by the Power Station and the Northern line. Parking is very limited however.

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

Yes, they fixed an issue I had with the light incredibly quickly

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

The hot tub is often not that hot and the co-working can get busy. However the other areas are usually pretty empty.

Florence Dock by folk is really good

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

The good aspect is that it feels safe, the proximity to river is great. So I want to go out and take a lil break, I can just walk to the riverbank which is amazing I think . It also a quiet area, so I have experienced any traffic noise. I don't know about parking because I don't own a car however there's designated place for parking bikes in the building itself. One are I see it could have been better is proximity to tube station, there isnt any tube station close by which is somewhat of a con I feel. Once in a while I've seen some litter outside the building which should also be improved. Otherwise all is good.

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

Yes I recently raised a concern related to maintenance and it was looked into by the team which is great.

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

Not a biggie but if I would have known the almirah structure of the studio rooms that would have been better to plan on what all I should bring in as part of the move.
