A Guide to Living in Tower Hamlets

Please review your development:

The development is very nice and modern with a great design and aesthetic. It is lacking leisure facilities as there is no gym, sauna or steam room but there is a cinema and games room. The concierge desk is always very friendly and there are plenty of lifts so you don’t have to wait too long to get home.

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

There is nothing I would add here. Everything was shared with me clearly and I had already lived in the area so I knew what to expect.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

I would prefer a winter garden as opposed to a balcony as it doesn’t get used very much.

Please review your development:

Good development with green area outside the building, close to main shops, tubes and only 10 min from airport and 20.min to Central London .

You can enjoy the canary wharf facilities and events during the year and also the quiet time on the area close to the farm and green spaces.

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

No rooftop to access

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

To have more thick walls and better main apt doors

The street has been closed as a liveable street so there is almost zero noise, the bins are collected daily and there is some parking available, however it is paid during the day time.

Please review your development:

The building is nicely designed and the apartments are pretty spacious with large living rooms and good size bedrooms and bathrooms, specially considering the area is so close to central. The building management responds quickly to any queries and gets issues resolved quickly.

The development does lack some facilities i.e most of the nee developments have an in house gym which this one does not include

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

It’s a good place to live and is nicely locates on the area. I didn’t have any issues.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Gym included within the premise as this gets very expensive. Everything else is reasonable or good.

Please review your development:

Moved in during Covid but it’s been frustrating not having access to communal facilities during much of this time.
Overall the standard of build has provided a good finish and all maintenance / remedial work has been promptly addressed.
Unfortunately my biggest bug beat has been that my windows have not been cleaned once since I moved in 14 months ago – in my view this should have happened at least twice a year! Doesn’t seem too much to ask when you consider how high the monthly service charge is.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Window cleaning far too long over due and should’ve been addressed by now to all apartments
