WestCity Reviews

“The flat is lovely. I got a great view of the London Eye from my balcony which is amazing. The flat is modern, and the space is alright for London. Not too spacious but just as any flat in central. The underground parking is brilliant, and it is included with the flat. Traffic is the only bad thing I could think of. Building management has been great and we got a lovely concierge.” – Anonymous, Verified resident at West End Quay

Amazing water view

We got a very nice balcony and view. The best is we are near water, which is very nice. Not all flats got balconies which is good to know.
The flat is modern and the size is not bad for been London. The boilers are not too good to be fair; everything is electric.
I think the design could be better. The 3rd bedroom is quite small so we just use it as a studio.
There is a 24 hour concierge which is very good. The building has an underground garage with a space for each flat which is great and very safe.
It can be a bit noisy at times but you would expect that in central London.
We did not really move in here because of the building, but because of the location and the balcony with its view.
A good thing is the building manager is very good as it is not agents.

 

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

We like it is very central, and only 10 minutes away from marble arch. To be fair one of the reasons why we chose to live here was the location.
Transport is fine. The area has become very busy now. There is a lot of traffic.
We got a lot of shops, restaurants, cafes, etc, nearby which is good. There is a lot of life.
It is not 100% safe, but it is not bad for such a busy area. An issue is there are some gangs from an estate down the road. And also some Romanian beggers hang around Tesco. The bar next to us is quite noisy.
It is just that the area has changed a lot in the last 10 years.

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

I wish I had known about how over time the area would change, as there is a different atmosfere and there used to be more wildlife.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

It is all very high spec in the building. I think it is just that the area has changed quite a lot since 2003 when we moved in.

Great location

The flat is very modern, well equipped, and everything of good quality. It could have been bigger, but after all it’s London.
The underground garage is great.
I have no balcony, but my view is actually nice. I can see the London eye and gherkin from my flat.
I have never had any issues with building management. The concierge is great and very helpful.

There are great shops around, and dining options are very good.

Lovely apartment

Very nice apartment. Perfect environment. Very new and modern, and quite cosy. Not too spacious but its London. Balcony but view is not the best because it looks to the back. Neighbours throw rubbish or with the wind it just manages to get into our balcony.
Management is very good, and there is a guard all the time. It feels very safe. There are regular activities as yoga in the area, which is great for residents.

 

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The area is very good and convenient. There are stores everywhere as m&s and co-op. The best point is accessibility, especially because of the trains.
The only bad thing is there are not too many asian cuisine restaurants.
The canal nearby is very nice and refreshing. It is ideal to go and rest there or just walk around.
It feels quite safe compared to other areas because it is so busy.

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

We knew everything before moving in so there wasnt any problems.

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

Building management has always responded very promptly.
