I rented in Greenwich Millennium Village and loved the area so decided to pool resources with my girlfriend and purchase a one-bed flat in 2015. We had been to launch events before and underestimated demand so we missed out – this time we got there early and queued for hours to reserve out flat! The flat has been great as my neighbours in are all very friendly and we often chat in the lifts.

The design of the building is modern and clean, it has high end furnishings but doesn’t comprimise on comfort and space. There are plants and mirrored furniture that give the feeling of space and make it truly luxurious. The facilities are something that stood out to me the most, the gym space and equipment and then the full length pool and changing rooms are something you’d see in a high end gym but yet are right on your doorstep.
Property management has been fantastic and attentive, they’ve answered emails and couldn’t have made my move more smooth,

The jubilee line is through Greenwich + DLR+ river taxi and trains to charing cross so don’t worry about links to central london. My parents (N Londoners!) still ask how we manage not being on the underground. Actually we’re within walking distance of N Greenwich tube, by my criteria, but hardly use it. If you live in SE London you just don’t miss the tube; if you are not from here it seems as though people base house-buying decisions on a tube map rather than an integrated transport map and therefore big parts of SE London simply don’t feature on their radar, so there’s relatively lower demand. That being said with all this development prices are shooting up and now seem just as competitive to the rest of London, luckily for me I bought a while back before things got silly.

Facilities are okay. The booking for the cinema room is hopeless and it is always booked out weeks in advance. The limit of two dates/household needs to be enforced. The pool is not big enough for 5 buildings now. The reception area with coffee machine is nice in B4. the B4 gym is great. It would be nice to have some loungers on the B4 deck and for this to be open not having to book. I think the flats themselves are small for the money we pay. The paint on the walls marks very easily and some of the furniture is cheap in quality. The sofa was aged in a week. I do like the colours and the overall design and layout of the flat but it could be more hard wearing against wear and tear. Property management has been poor at times with little communication on some key issues. The Hub roll out was a bit of a disaster. Waited a year for bedside lamps for these not to match our decor at all (blue walls, blue bedside tables, pink bed frame). We have heard the check out process is ruthless.
However we have been happy here so far and look forward to seeing how the area improves post covid.
