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

I have lived at the Kell since 2021. The reason why I like living here is because it is close to where I work and it makes commuting to and from work less stressful. There are local shops around to do your grocery shopping for your convenience. There's private parking and its secured. The management is always readily available to address any concerns you may have.

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

Any problems and issues raised has been dealt with promptly.

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

I wish I had known parking payment was not included with rent.

Building & Location Review

Laurence (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Riverstone Heights, E3

Mar 2026

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

Location is good - less than a 2 min walk to the tube station and Tesco. Also easy access to lovely walks along the canals. The only thing I would say the area is missing are social environment such as restaurants, coffee shops or pubs. There is very little in the area at a walking distance - everything is 30 mins + or need to get the tube.

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

Always super quick and helpful although never really had any issues with the flat

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

Nothing to say on this one - all information was provided during the viewing

Manager response

Thank you so Laurence much for your kind review. We’re really pleased to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience living in the building and that our team has made you feel welcome. It’s great to know that you enjoy the social events, the facilities, and the design of the flats. We always aim to create a comfortable and friendly environment for our residents, so your feedback means a lot to us. We also appreciate your comments about the local area. The nearby transport links and canal walks are definitely highlights, and we hope to see even more cafés, restaurants, and social spots develop in the area over time. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for recommending us. Kind regards, Simona

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

The apartment's communal facilities are exceptionally well-equipped and modern, offering a wide range of amenities that cover most requirements. Three DLR stations are conveniently located nearby, ensuring excellent transport links. A bus stop is also situated right outside the building. The surrounding area is remarkably quiet, with no late-night disturbance from motorcycles.

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

Whenever an issue arises, one promptly receives an email from the manager outlining the resolution and the steps taken to address it.

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

The apartment includes most of the necessary facilities, so there's no need to arrange Wi-Fi in advance or worry about receiving parcels.

Manager response

Hi Ying, Thank you for taking your time to leave a positive review. Its great to see you are enjoying the building, the amenities and its location. Please do approach any of the on-site team should you have any queries.

Good amount of grocery shops near by; 2 mins to the nearest tube station and bus stations; bins near the station are always full and trash overflow on the stairs; traffic noise is tolerable.

The response has been timely with helpful solutions.

I wish I knew this place earlier! Every time I see the plants and smiley face on people who work here it makes me happy.
