Oli (Tenant)

Union Wharf, SE8

Aug 2020

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

The area of Union Wharf speaks for itself. You are a stones throw from Greenwich with the buzzing restaurants, bars and independent shops. You have access to one of the best parks in London, Greenwich park a 10 minute walk away and direct access to London Bridge and the city in 10 minutes.

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

I didn’t actually realise how great of a commute it was into the city. I definitely recommend walking To Greenwich station and getting the train to London Bridge. My commute in total takes me 20 minutes which is crazy good!

What is the best feature of your home:

The View.. we can see Canary Wharf, a wide view of the Thames and all of the city of London. We even watched the fireworks from our apartment on new year.

Well-Designed, Convenient, and Professionally Managed Living Space

Luca Z (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Union Wharf, SE8

Dec 2024

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

The area offers a fantastic range of local shops, restaurants, and bars, catering to various tastes and needs. Open spaces are plentiful, providing great options for outdoor activities and relaxation. Transport links are excellent, with convenient access to buses and trains, making it easy to get around the city. Living on the street feels peaceful and safe, with normal traffic noise typical of a vibrant city. Parking is manageable, bin collections are reliable, and there’s a general sense of community. A great place to live!

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

The building management has been responsive and efficient, promptly addressing any issues raised and ensuring solutions are implemented quickly. Communication is clear, and they show genuine care for residents’ needs, making living here stress-free and enjoyable.

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

Nothing specific to say, I found what I was looking for.

Vantage point 5 star review

Alex s (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Vantage Point, N19

Nov 2024

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

Amazing transport links via archway tube station and an endless array of shops on your doorsteps makes going about your day very easy.

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

I recently had maintenance work completed in my apartment and the process was absolutely incredible, sabir was professional, polite and very skilled in the work he did , I was very pleased how everything went from start to finish.

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

Before you move to vantage point it’s difficult to see the amount of shops / restaurants within a walking distance, so it’s good to keep that in mind when considering moving there.

It's not a place to live, it's a lifestyle.

Andrew A (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Dressage Court, E2

Nov 2024

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

Dressage court is a delight. The staff are very helpful, there is a lot of amazing places close by (esp. Three Colts Tavern, The Sun Tavern and Satan's Whiskers). You are in the middle of East London with very good connectivity throughout the week and weekend whereas in west you rely heavily on buses in most areas come the weekend. The flats are beautifully designed, warm in the winter and breezy in the summer.

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

Sorry i think i more or less covered this above but rapid when there was anything wrong and so rarely is given teams are so good at maintaining the building.

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

Very minor but a little dark in the day without lighting. Everything else was shared ahead of time, for example it seems like you guys read these and try to at least assure we are aware as they did say the ventilation for cooking wasn't the best and you might have to open a window if cooking on the hob. that being said they are easy sacrifices as you have the rooftop for light and the shared kitchen for any intense cooking :)

Defo the best place I have rented in London

Jaco (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Union Wharf, SE8

Nov 2024

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

There is a waitrose right on the door step and we are right next to a park with the Greenwich town beside us.

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

The main issue would be that there is too much scaffolding on the building.

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

That there would have been the scaffolding for years.
