Difficult parking in the whole area but great transports links. Regularity of bin collections, how well kept the area is helps the maintenance of the area and how people decide to look after what’s theirs.

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

A glorified council estate. Spent a couple a years living here and it’s gone from very nice to horrid. It’s unsafe, dirty, noisy and polluted. Yet with each passing year, the service charge, rent, utilities bills, council tax and mortgage keep going up. The whole area is a dump and the council is lazy and powerless. So is our MP. Drug use is rampant. The minute we open our windows it stinks so bad we have to close it. Same goes when we come out of our flat or when walking around the neighbourhood. And actually even inside the flat we can’t use the ventilation because of the smell of drugs from other flats circulating through the vents system. So many neighbours already sold their place after just two years of living here. And the process was horrendous, mainly due to the absolute incompetence of the people working at the housing association.

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

How everything (from the flat, building facilities and services) would get run down very quickly, yet the expenses would keep going up. In reality it’s more of a short term living arrangement as it’s definitely not the place someone would want to live long term especially for those wanting to raise a family. Who would want to let their children inhale drugs from their neighbours’ daily smoking habits. Horrid.

What is the best feature of your home:

Adequate flat layout and decent proportions. Fully equipped. The building layout however is lazy offering no privacy and complete exposure to pollution from all elements (noise, smell, dust etc).

Living at Gallions Point in E16 is fantastic. The modern apartments, scenic Thames views, and excellent transport links make daily life convenient. Nearby amenities like Gallions Reach Shopping Park and green spaces add to the appeal. The area’s ongoing regeneration creates a vibrant community, blending tranquility with easy access to central London.

Parking can be limited and expensive, which might be an issue for those who rely on a car. This is worth considering beforehand.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best aspect of my home at Gallions Point is undoubtedly the breathtaking views. I can watch planes gracefully take off and land at London City Airport, and the glittering skyline of Canary Wharf creates a stunning backdrop, especially at night.
