Close to Tesco superstore and also has its own grocery / convenience shop. Also have access to underground storage unit and roof terrace however parking is expensive and you must pay every month per space. Closest station is Pudding Mill Lane 10 mins walk or Bromley-by-Bow 15 mins walk. Stratford is also close by 20 mins walk. Construction and traffic noise is low. Bins directly outside buildings attract many flies when opened.

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

Maintenance requests take a long time be actioned. Sometimes over 1 month. Was not given storage unit keys or keys for post box until around a month after moving in. Intercom is also broken at the moment and ticket has been raised but not been actioned for over a month despite following up with concierge.

More clarity from the landlord in terms of the plan for the future of the island and safety of their tenants and a better control of who lives in the islands. In the tenants contract says explicitly that you can't smoke on the flat specially drugs and not make loud noises and host parties after 10-11 pm and there’re still tenants who ignore it which makes families with kids like mine wanting to leave the island
