Kangaroo Works, S1

Oct 2026

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

Living in the city center means that everything is reachable within walking distance. It's pretty convenient. However, living at Trafalgar street also means that it would be very noisy during midnights at weekends.

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

They did on multiple occasions. Though implementation can vary from instant to a while

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

I wish I knew that this place doesn't have as much students as I thought it would be. While I understand it's a regular accommodation. There is little to none social life student wise. However, it would be best fit for families

Oct 2026

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

Moving into Aquifer House has been an absolute game-changer. As a relatively new build-to-rent development in Ilford, it completely redefines modern urban living. The building itself is stunning, boasting a sophisticated, boutique design with high-quality interior finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and excellent open-plan layouts.

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

Finally, the management team is phenomenal, but a massive shout-out has to go to Paul from the maintenance team. Having an on-site team that cares makes all the difference. Whenever a repair or technical issue pops up, Paul is incredibly responsive, professional, and friendly. He handles everything promptly and efficiently, giving you complete peace of mind that the upkeep of your home is in the best hands.

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

If you are looking for a beautiful, well-managed, and perfectly connected place to live in East London, I cannot recommend Aquifer House enough!

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

Really lovely building with amazing staff! Have only been here a few months but even in that short time have felt really welcome! Ruby was amazing in showing us around initially and helping with setting up things to get settled into the building.

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

Very quick to respond. Had an issue with my utility billing and staff helped me sort out water meter issues within a few hours of asking.

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

How vibrant the area is! Really active and lots to do nearby + only a very short walk to the city centre
