Living at Folk in Battersea is the perfect location. It's literally a 20 second walk from the front door to the river bank - with an excellent French restaurant mid way! The building is off the main road and has very little traffic. Even closer than the river is an NHS doctor, dentist, pharmacy and Co-op store. Clapham Junction is a 10- minute walk and there are 2 buses that go there if that feels a bit much.

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

Yes - I had good response to a problem with my hob.

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

One of the best Italian cafes is a 5 minute walk along the river - a daily treat!!

Everything is incredibly close to the place, with Wimbledon Village right around the corner for anything Earlsfield doesn’t have as well as train connections to London Central to get there incredibly easily.

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

Very kindly and fast. They have a good system in place where they can keep track of all inquiries and solve them as fast as they can.

I just wish I knew more about the events so I could be more active during the first few months I moved here.

Harrow and Wealdstone is an average area. There are some good restaurants on the high street and some great spots if you go to Harrow on the Hill or Harrow Weald.

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

Any issues I have had with my room (not that many) have been dealt with swiftly by the Folk staff.

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

It’s important to join the Folk group chat to keep up-to-date with the latest events happening in the building!!

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

Transport links are excellent which is the main reason I chose this location as a woman I needed to be safe when walking from the train station late at night. The range and quality of the shops is very poor and the Wealdstone area where the shops and amenities are in particular has antisocial behaviour and can be quite noisy .Traffic noise is at a minimum due to the distance from the road and this is a good thing.

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

I am pleased with the property management and the response time overall to issues that I raise and this has been key to my stay here. There have been some breakdowns of the laundry machine which is being outsourced to a different company however these breakdowns have usually been resolved in a timely manner . In my studio when I moved in there was a problem with the shower however management gave me a discount because of the inconvenience until it was fixed which I noted as good customer service . Whenever I require use of the facilities that require support from the front desk team or am following up on a minor issue with my studio such as the smoke detector not working I have been met with a smile and excellent service particularly from Lily, Chante, Oremie and Callum who remain warm yet professional at all times.

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

The limited range and quality of shops and amenities that are within walking distance from the building

I really like the location - very close to the train station which takes you right into central London in 12 minutes. Multiple grocery stores to choose from, some are 5 minutes walk away and others are 10-20 minutes. The people are nice and friendly. I do find the street is a bit noisy but that’s easily resolved if you keep your window closed.

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

They have always responded promptly, which is appreciated.

Not sure tbh. I can’t think of anything at the moment
