I’ve genuinely loved living at Sunday Mills. The design of the development is one of the first things that stood out to me it feels modern, thoughtfully planned and high quality without feeling cold. The apartments are well finished and offer layouts that actually work for real life. The communal spaces feel intentional and stylish, not just an afterthought, and they’re always clean and well maintained. The facilities are a real highlight. The gym in particular is so well equipped which isn’t always the case in residential buildings. It has proper, high-quality equipment and enough variety that you can do a full workout without needing a separate gym membership. That’s made a big difference day-to-day. The building overall feels secure and well run, which gives real peace of mind. What truly sets Sunday Mills apart though is the building management and front desk team. Chris, Eriona and Devvon are consistently professional, friendly and incredibly helpful. They’re responsive, proactive and genuinely care about residents’ experience. It makes the whole development feel welcoming rather than corporate. It’s rare to find a place where the management adds so much to the quality of living, but they absolutely do here.

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.

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

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.

The building management is amazing, the common spaces are also always clean, the facilities are in good shape. One thing which could be improved is the centralised temperature control for summers also. For winter it is great but for summer I feel it might become suffocating, so support for centralised temp control for summers also would be amazing considering the temperature is hot for at least 1-2 months.

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.
