Amazing access to restaurants and bars, shops, transport links. Really clean around, local initiatives such as open festivals and free movie screenings! Canary Wharf is truly getting more and more residential. Parking availability is terrible though and I’d say that’s the only real problem – especially for deliveries of white goods and furniture. It could also be a little greener but I can see CW is trying to add some green spaces here and there so I’m excited to see how it progresses. It is currently a little loud from time to time due to constrictions, but I have to say the windows in my flat are really good at noise cancelling and there’s a lot of moments with windows open or closed where I catch myself thinking how quiet it is!

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

Frankly, only parking and how to coordinate moving in when there’s no where to park. Lack of white goods is also unique, however, my property managers were very upfront about this. There was really very little surprises, so I really appreciate the transparency. Actually, my expectations have been exceed for this place overall!

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

Absolutely, they’re super quick communicative and really polite.

The area is great. Lots of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets, all you need around you. Transport links are fantastic. There’s no car parking facilities, which is not great when you want to receive visitors; unfortunately this building seems to attract people with no social manners – noise out of hours, consumption of drugs, vandalism and dirty communal areas are a constant within my neighbours.

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

I wished to be informed the profile of the neighbours.

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

Responded quickly. Nothing else to add. Nothing else to add.

The flat is fantastic! There are hundreds of shops and restaurants in Canary Wharf and I can get everything I need within a 15 minute walk. The area feels safe at all times, as there is security patrolling the area at all times, and the paths to and from the building are very well lit. Noise wise, we have had absolutely no problems whatsoever, this is unprecedented having lived in private rented accommodation across East London! Transport is also excellent, there are options to get here via Crossrail, Jubilee Line, DLR and the Clipper. The bin area is almost always kept extremely clean, which makes taking out the rubbish more pleasant. We have not noticed almost any signs of antisocial behaviour since living here, and hopefully this will continue!

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

The flat does get quite warm, especially when the weather outside is hot/sunny. Without AC, the flat stays consistently above 24 degrees unless windows are opened, and can feel a bit like a greenhouse on sunny days. This isn’t an issue as such, but was something I wasn’t expecting. When windows are opened/fans are turned on it is absolutely fine!

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

We also had a small incident when moving in our washing machine (installed by the supplier). After installation, there was a small leak which quickly started to release more water. I called the management team and then arrived on site within 2 minutes. Amardeep was able to resolve the issue calmly and explain what had happened and show my partner how to stop it from happening again. The issue had actually been caused by the installer and was not a fault of the flat at all. This was great as it showed us what had happened, and did so calmly as to not panic us!

Location is fantastic with water and garden areas to look at. So far I’ve not seen any kind of antisocial behaviour and parking is fine as we have a parking space with the apartment
