Having bought off-plan about 2016 I have been very happy with our apartment, The building is well-designed and exceptionally well-managed. The concierge service is excellent and always willing and friendly. With Queens Park tube literally across the street (15 mins. to Baker St.), transport links are excellent. The local High St. has a village atmosphere with quaint cafeterias, restaurants and pubs. Queens Park is a short distance and provided nice outdoor facilities. The building has good parking but street parking is limited. Queens Park Place was affected by the cladding problems to a small extent. Although this has "slowed" sales things should be completely cleared up in 2024 and a faster pace of sales resumed. James Andrew, the managing agent, has managed this issue skilfully and diplomatically. While the development partially overlooks the main railway lines, as the building is sealed this is hardly an issue.

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

I have had very few but they have always responded quickly and efficiently. Concierge being on hand on a daily basis is a great help in this area.

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

If I'd known about the cladding issue but that's with the benefit of hindsight.

Everything you need is close by; bars, restaurants, shops. The tube is right opposite the development, so you’re in central London within minutes!

This isn’t applicable to me as I haven’t had any issues

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

Queens park is like a little village. The park is the beating heart of thew community and brilliant to have on your door step, especially if you have kids or a dog. Super well connected by bus & rail, the only downside is it can get quite noisy at rush hour on the high street but thats London.

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

Brilliant, they are on it and super helpful and always go above and beyond

Nothing major to report. Just be aware of timeliness that can shift.

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

A vibrant area with lots of restaurants and bars. The building is located 5-6mins walk away from Old Street Station, however the building is a car-free development (meaning you need to give up your parking permit if you live in this building).

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

Building management responded to problems but the response time is very long.
