Great location

I have a corner flat so big spacious rooms, lovely floor to ceiling windows which means loads of natural light. Very warm in the flat so don’t have to use heating much which saves money.
Communal bins get full too quickly and overflow .
Concierge looks after deliveries .

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Great location for all amenities and east Croydon station within 10 mins walk
Not enough parking .

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

That parking would be very limited. Lived here 7 years and took 4 years to get a permit to park .

Great experience compared to my last landlord

Very modern building about 5 years old. Looking out over Deptford Creek. Most apartments have balconies, there is also a communal balcon. Great location very close to Greenwich DLR station, less than a 5 min walk. Limited parking within the building. Reasonable value for money.
