You’ll spot scenes of Westminster on most London postcards, and it’s little wonder. After all, this place hosts riverside icons like the House of Lords, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Not to mention the black taxis and scarlet phone boxes synonymous with England’s capital. Some of the country’s best-preserved Georgian mansions can be found in its neighbourhoods, too, sitting pretty in the quiet, leafy streets of Maida Vale and Belgravia. Also, let’s not forget the glittering lights of the West End, the best place to catch dinner and a show. Read on to read reviews from residents living in some of the best places to live in Westminster.
The aesthetics of the building are amazing
The location is perfect. In Pimlico, you’re in walking distance of Big Ben, Sloane Square and Battersea Power Station, as well as a range if great coffee shops and bakeries alike. However, there is a little bit of noise, having been located next to Grosvenor Road, and the London heliport. In addition, parking is awful is you own your car, i.e. borrowing a car. The parking requires an expensive permit, which is a pain to get.
Please review your development:
The aesthetics of the building are amazing, plus the newly renovated interiors are very nice an minimalistic. I love my apartment, it’s very nice and cosy, and the location is great. However, I don’t feel the price is worth the price, even for Central London. In addition, the apartments have not been renovated to a great quality, and you can tell they’ve been knocked together very quickly – my bathroom ceiling is leaking and brown, the windows rattle to no avail and paint falls off things.
The concept of the facilities at Dolphin Square are amazing, however, they keep getting delayed. Plus, the noise construction at the complex is immense. To the point where you can’t hear you TV on full volume.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It would’ve been good to know loud the renovations would be and how long they’d be going on for.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very well. The customer service is very good and they are always happy to help.
