Gravity Co-Living

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

Gravity Co-Living West Court offers a mixed experience in the local area. The range of local shops, restaurants, and bars is decent, with various options for dining and shopping, catering to different tastes and budgets. Open spaces are pleasant and well-maintained, providing a relaxing environment for outdoor activities. Transport links are generally convenient, with good access to buses and trains, although occasional delays and overcrowding can be problematic during peak hours. Living on the street is relatively peaceful, with adequate parking availability and regular bin collections. Overall, it's a balanced living experience with both positives and areas for improvement.

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

One great thing I wish I had known before moving in is how vibrant and friendly the community is. The social events and regular gatherings are fantastic for meeting neighbours and making new friends. The communal areas, like the lounge and co-working spaces, are always lively and welcoming, creating a strong sense of community that really enhances the living experience here.

It’s very conveniently located within a short walk to tube station and thameslink. There are a lot of grocery shops around and, of course, Finsbury park is right there and it is just perfect for that morning jog

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

Any issues raised to the management were addressed right away

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

I do not have any insights. Everything in the property was exactly as described and presented by the management

Finsbury Park has excellent transport links, amenities, and local parks. It's ideal for someone who commutes to the city centre or occasionally works from home. There's some anti-social behavior in the area, so being mindful of your surroundings is important, but if you take precautions it is a great place to live.

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

I have had some small maintenance issues in my room which Gravity Co. solved in a reasonable amount of time. However, there are sometimes issues external to my room (laundry machines, security doors, and building facade issues) which seem to take much longer to solve than necessary. Gravity Co. seems to have trouble getting approval from the building owner to address some of these larger maintenance requests.

Gravity Finsbury Park is ideal for people who want to get to know their flatmates, so make sure you are connected via the Gravity App and try to be involved in occasional activities to make the most of living here. There is some anti-social activity in the neighbourhood, so ensure you are mindful of your surroundings and do what you can to help keep the building secure.

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

The area is pretty rough, one of my housemates moved out after a few weeks, apparently because she didn't feel safe in the area. Pretty much all of my female housemates have been harassed by strangers in the area, i.e. coming from the station. There are also drug addicts, drunks and pickpockets. I wrote to the police airing my concerns and got no reply, I'm sure many areas of London are like this. You definitely can't go in the park at night. Random homeless(?) people go through the bins outside and occasionally are hanging around in the street annoying people.

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

Fairly swiftly, although sometimes ignoring concerns and then saying that it's not an issue and closing the ticket.

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

It would be good for future tenants to know that the community is great. There are ~36 people and I would say that most people interact with us, but there are some people that don't communicate, it would be nice if everyone who lived here was part of the community.

Lots of things around, especially grocery stores. Close to beautiful parks!! Can radially get to central locations

We have had some issues including the oven, and bathrooms, for some we never heard back for other we heard back immediately

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

How dirty the flat was going to be and how much time we would need to clean it
