Sept 2025

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

Greenwich is a great place to live, with plenty of shops, cafés, restaurants and beautiful green spaces like Greenwich Park. Transport links are excellent, and the area feels safe, friendly and family-oriented. Parking can be tricky at times, but overall it’s a fantastic neighbourhood.

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

Very responsive and always found a solution very quickly

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

Honestly, there isn’t anything I wish I had known before moving in — everything has been a positive experience

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

Lovely corner of Islington that is well connected to transit, super convenient with shops and groceries. Great access to parks, schools and kids activities. There are great restaurants, pubs, and a farmers market within a couple blocks.

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

Yes we've submitted a few minor requests for maintenance and they were addressed quickly

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

Nothing really, everything was clear. Some of the units have air con, some don't, so maybe building could be clearer about that.

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

Living right above the tube station is so convenient and a lifesaver, plus there are at least 5 bus stops in a block radius from the building. It’s a safe area with a ton of cafes, grocery stores, salons, pubs, etc. in walking distance. I moved here from the states and was pretty ignorant of London geography but it worked out very well choosing vantage point.

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

Management usually responds very quickly to my emails and maintenance requests. Concierges are very friendly and helpful. Maintenance crew are nice, courteous, quick and good at what they do.

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

You can’t control the heat day-to-day and need management/maintenance to set up the schedule on the electronic panel in the closet for when and how strong it comes on the winter!

Sept 2025

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

I have recently moved in but the location and transport links are so far great. The building is next to a train station which can be a bit noisy.

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

The building management have been very accommodating and quick to respond to any issues I have had. They are always friendly and helpful. Reshi, Kira, Juan and Bex have been great.

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

The noise of the train station can be loud with windows closed. But this is something you would get used to.
