Fantastic development which is well maintained. Great to have free visitor parking, and takes only 7 minutes to walk to Hayes & Harlington station. Unfortunately the facilities in the surrounding town have, in our experience, become slightly worse. There are very few restaurants or cafes, and the supermarkets, pharmacy etc are all very busy. The onsite green space is really great for families. Hayes town has some issues with anti-social behaviour and fly-tipping but we have always felt safe living here.

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

Yes, but pigeons are still an ongoing issue which meant we often could not use our terrace.

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

Hayes Town not regenerating as fast as hoped. Lots of issues with illegal fly tipping.

I absolutely love living in Fizzy Poplar; everything is perfect. However, sometimes there are car windows smashed on the side of the road.

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

Good overall building management, and having good response to the issue

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

I would like to see the apartment first, before moving in

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

The local area is a great place to live. There is a good variety of shops nearby, including supermarkets and small convenience stores, so daily shopping is very easy. There are also several nice restaurants, cafés, and a few cozy bars within walking distance, offering good quality food and a friendly atmosphere. Green spaces and parks are close by, which is perfect for walks and relaxing outdoors. Transport links are reliable and make commuting simple, whether by bus or car. The street feels safe and friendly, with neighbours who are respectful and considerate. Parking is generally manageable, and the area is well looked after. It’s usually quiet at night, with very little traffic noise, which makes it a comfortable and relaxing place to come home

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

Yes, I had a small issue with the balcony, and the building management responded immediately. By the very next day, the problem was completely fixed. In general, any questions or concerns I have raised are addressed quickly and efficiently, with clear communication. Their responsiveness makes living here very reassuring and stress-free.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that in a studio apartment, some appliances like the boiler or fridge can make noticeable noise. It’s not a big issue, but if you’re a very light sleeper, it’s worth keeping this in mind when choosing a place. Overall, it’s still a comfortable and lovely home, just be prepared for small everyday sounds.

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

Access to public transport and in the flat facilities are great however there is anti social behaviour outside of the building a lot of the time often late into the night

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

yes we have raised issues with door handles and heating building management always respond quickly and will follow up to ensure everything is sorted.

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

the walk to the dlr is short but for any other main tube lines there is a slight walk to canary wharf or mile end. bus access is great. not a massive cafe/ pub scene but very community based with a great park out front and excellent local hub

Living on Silvertown Way is honestly a total win for anyone wanting that seamless London lifestyle. Being right next to Canning Town station is a game-changer—you’re basically minutes from anywhere—and having a massive Morrisons and great local spots like Zzetta right on your doorstep makes life so easy. The vibe is super modern, and the views over toward Thames Barrier Park are a huge plus for weekend walks. Even though it's a bustling area, the apartments at East 16 are so well-insulated that it stays impressively quiet inside, and the parking situation is actually a major relief; there are always spots available, and the management is incredibly helpful with letting you use their spaces for moving in or out.

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

Choosing to rent at Fizzy E16 instead of Fizzy Canning Town specifically for the onsite team was easily the best decision we made. Having management physically present makes a world of difference; the maintenance team is incredibly prompt with repairs, the security staff is always helpful, and there’s a genuine sense that everything is in good hands. It’s that extra layer of support that transforms the renting experience from stressful to seamless.

Honestly, the one thing I wish I’d known is just how much of a "presence" the new building across the street would be. Since it's in the home stretch, there’s this constant hum of finishing works that you just don't catch during a quick viewing. The biggest curveball is definitely the Saturday morning wake-up calls—they do tend to get an early start on the weekends, which isn't ideal if you were planning on sleeping in. That said, it’s not all bad; the site goes totally silent in the evenings and on Sundays, and it hasn't really caused any massive headaches.
