It’s located in Wembley (Zone 4), it’s a new development area so it looks pretty safe and surrounded by tall buildings. There are nearby supermarkets around 7 minutes walk to Sainbury and Lidl.

They dealt with it quickly, including open to discussions and try to offer some helps

The location is very nice even though it took around 15 minutes from the Wembley Park station. The environment is safe and a new development.

Great area, perfect for commuting into the City for work on the Met line, loads of shops and restaurants on the doorstop and while totally central, the building is just slightly off of the Main Street so it’s actually very quiet.

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

Straight away and effectively every time. There is always someone at reception to help out and they seemed to genuinely care.

Great location, great building, friendly staff and flat mates. Highly recommended.

There’s a lot exciting things to do in Canary Wharf, for example there are activities you can do on the river, lots of fun restaurants in the area. also a Asda, Tesco and co op nearby which makes grocery shopping easier. The only negative I would say is the price of things around here, if you want to get your hair or nails done it’s very expensive. There is also no corner shops which can come as an inconvenience for some.

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

Whenever there is an issue with stuff in the room, maintenance come fix it the very next day.

To make sure you get a room which isn’t so close to the DLR, as even with your window closed all you can hear every 10 minutes is the train passing by.

Living in ARK is a dream. It’s modern, clean, and lowkey aesthetic enough to feel like you’ve got your life together (even when you don’t). The rooms are comfy, the vibe is very Gen-Z coded, and it actually feels like a proper student community instead of just a place to sleep. Everything you need is nearby, transport is easy, and the overall energy is calm but social, the perfect balance. The parcel room in the basement. Absolute hell. Zero vibes. It feels like a dungeon designed to test patience and emotional stability. Packages go missing, and every visit feels like you’re on a mini survival mission. You go down happy… You come back up lost.

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

Depending on the day, sometimes good, sometimes shit.

“So much free food through events, and free brunch every Sunday, would’ve planned my groceries better.”

I didn't know how co-living works and the shared spaces and events are great
