Excellent quality and we spend most of time inside the apartment building – cozy communal areas where I can WHF with complimentary coffees and small green park where I can take a walk with my pet when tired, and modern and clean apartment which makes me very comfortable. Feel as if I live in a luxury hotel.

Perfect for having a modern and convenient life – a lot of choices of restaurants (price and kind of dishes), supermarkets and other stores, where you can live only in the small Canary Wharf. Can enjoy fresh air in many parks within waling distance with glittering river, which makes my life comfortable especially covid and WFH environment.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
When Virgin wi-fi service become available – did not know it would take up to 3 days to have registration for the service
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
First aid people came promptly and explained why/how issues occurred clearly – as it was complicated one (water leakage), they connected immediately to the right people and all resolved soon.

Amazing building for short term stay.
The design of the building is very modern and contemporary which makes the building stand out. In regards to facilities, the building has all the amenities required for its residents such as different types of common rooms to relax. The concierge is very helpful and kind in terms of any inquiries I have about my stay.

Heidi and Lisa at the concierge have been absoloutely wonderful. The design is outstanding. My only issue was the fact that there is no flexibility regarding the contract and the fact that people would not answer the phone.

A lovely place to live.
The design of the building is perfect for dogs, the roof terrace & water gardens provide an ideal location to exercise our pets. The facilities are very useful, including the bin chute & coffee machine. The property is well maintained and the staff do a brilliant job of keeping us updated on developments and keeping the place clean & tidy. The staff at the front desk are extremely friendly & helpful, and create a very family feel. Lisa always goes out of her way to help & is always smiling & friendly, and of course provides treats for our pets.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Amazon fresh is brilliant and very convenient, it is also fairly priced. The building sits close to the jubilee line for easy travel into London, and is ideally placed next to Canary Wharf mall. There is little, if any, anti social behaviour or traffic noise & the area feels very safe.

Like living in a dog-friendly hotel
The building is well designed and dog-friendly, the communal spaces are spacious and the apartments have pretty good sound-proofing. The Vertus app is user-friendly. The concierge team – especially Lisa and Tunde – is always friendly and has a professional manner.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Safe residential area with a wide range of easily accessible good quality shops and restaurants. The transport is convenient and from our apartment it isn’t noisy at all. The closeness of the water is pleasant and the air pollution is much lower than in most parts of London.

The sound-proofing is perfect and there are bin chutes on all floors which is practical.

Great
The design is very impressive. Anything you could think of is available or nearby. Gym membership, rooftop access, lounges, and bookable private areas to relax and unwind with friends and family. The management are very helpful and are always one button away, ready to assist in any matter thinkable. Heidi especially was very helpful and always went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable.

The only bad thing I can talk about is the service, but this issue is not only in this building. Rather, this problem occurs all around Canary Wharf. Otherwise, this apartment and the building itself is extremely well designed. Heidi at the desk is a delight to talk to, and she’s always going out of her way to make sure the tenants are enjoying their stay.

Wonderful modern apartment near central London
The internal management on site are quick to fix issues and are very prompt however it did take long to get my contract which wasnt ideal. However as i moved in the team have been amazing with onboarding. It feels like a hotel. The interiors are superb and will highly recommend this building. I also love the free 1 year third space membership
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Love the Amazon fresh sharing a wall with the building. Its just a 2 minute walk to the Montgomery street exit of the Canary Wharf Jubilee line, 5 minutes to Heron Quays, 5-10 minutes to Poplar Station. Its just so accessible. Wonderful scenery of the financial district from my balcony.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not much really as it was everything described.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they have really quickly.
I love how we can communicate with concierge from our apartment using the intercom
