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

The local area is generally convenient. It is about 10 min walk from the underground station, which takes about 30min to central London. There is a small Tesco and big Asda within walking distance. There isn’t much noise since the area is quiet.

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

Repairs are responded to very quickly; this has not really applied to my situation since the apartment is brand new and I have not had many repair requests. The only issues I raised were explained as being related to the original design and may not be possible to change.

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

There aren’t many different types of restaurants nearby, so if you want more variety, you’ll need to go into central London.

Canary Wharf is clean and tidy with excellent shopping and restaurants. Public transport easily accessible across London. An amazing place to live.

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

Yes as above and dealt with the problem professionally and efficiently. I have had a few issues and not had any problem sorting them out and this has been acted on quickly .

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

I have been happy with the apartment and facilities. I would say though the biggest let down is the gym. Not much equipment for leg day!

I’d highly recommend Momento Barking as a built-to-rent option in East London. The local area has a good range of shops, supermarkets and services on Barking High Street and nearby — from Vicarage Field Shopping Centre and big-name chains to independent cafés, restaurants, bars and markets, so everyday errands and socialising are very convenient. There are also pleasant open spaces and parks, including Barking Park and riverside walks along the River Roding, which are lovely for exercise or relaxing outdoors.

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

Building and property management have consistently been responsive and professional, with maintenance requests handled efficiently and clear, timely communication throughout. Mimi at the front desk is always welcoming and smiling she genuinely seems to love what she does, and as a resident, her warmth and positive energy really make a difference to the overall experience of living here.

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

One thing you don’t always get from a typical viewing is how much the community and management team influence the day-to-day experience. The building feels much more welcoming once you’re actually living here, the staff are approachable, maintenance is handled efficiently, and the communal spaces are genuinely used by residents rather than just being “show pieces.” For new neighbours, I’d recommend making the most of the facilities early on (especially the gym and co-working spaces) and introducing yourself to the team they’re very helpful if you ever need support. Also, if you commute during peak hours, give yourself a little extra time as the station can get busy. Overall, it’s a convenient and well-managed place to live once you settle in.

Momento is situated in a lovely location. Close to amenities, shops and the train station. It’s located in a quiet area and easily accessible. I like that there is no noise late at night.

We’ve had no problems so far but everyone within the development have been super helpful.

Desmond was a pleasure to deal with and he made sure we were well informed for all aspects before and during the moving in process. We couldn’t recommend him more and total pleasure to deal with.
