The development is beautiful when we came to view it we fell in love with the design of the building and the interior. It’s exactly how we would design our own home/flat, their taste is so classy but also modern & fresh!
The facilities are lovely we can’t wait to be able to use the rooftop in the summertime the ability that we can rent the bbq to host friends and families is a major plus!
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The location of our building is amazing for public transport, shops, bars and restaurants! Everything is within walking distance you can see the underground station as soon as you leave the building.
The open space at the rear of the building is perfect especially as we have a dog(pet friendly building) also the DLR is 5 min walk and takes you straight to Greenwich Town Centre we go daily to walk our dog in Greenwich park one of the best in London!
Our street is quiet I wouldn’t say there are any issues with noise or antisocial behaviour as the security are constantly patrolling making me feel very safe and relaxed.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The staff are amazing when we first met the staff during the viewings I thought they were extremely helpful but this has only improved they are friendly so on hand to help with anything we need!
There is a lot of building work going on which is annoying but unavoidable in London!
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
More storage! This is only because we have found we are missing the extra hiding spaces for bits and bobs!
Our best decision in London so far? 8 Water Street…we’ve never been happier.
Design: Sublime…the interior architects and interior design team did a phenomenal job. From the moment the reception doors open, you can tell that no detail was spared. The common elements (entry, hallways, snug, dining, etc.) are incredibly inviting…modern bones with warm woods throughout. We’re looking forward to having friends over and using the private dining room .
Design of the flat: The layout is exceptional – every square inch was thoughtfully laid out. The finishes make it feel as if we’re staying in a 5-star hotel – from the floor-to-ceiling windows and draperies to the fully integrated kitchen to the perfectly-designed bath. Underfloor heating in the bath makes waking up in the morning just a bit easier.
Building management: 5 Stars. Every aspect of our move-in was executed perfectly. The leasing team were a joy to work with…the team at Reception make us (and our pup) feel right at home.

Beautiful parks in and around Canary Wharf with public art throughout; lovely waterside paths; endless pubs/shops/restaurants; a 5-min walk to Waitrose, a 4-min walk to the Jubilee Line, a 5-minute walk to the office, stunning architecture…I love urban planning (I’ve just recently moved from Chicago) and the Wharf is a joy to experience.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It’s incredibly peaceful here – we’re able to leave our balcony doors open all day/night for the breeze. It’s also quite lovely looking out across the private gardens…across the water…to the other side of the dock.
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
There isn’t anything I’d change about our flat – we did a ton of research prior to moving to London and had narrowed our search down to just four properties. 8 Water was, by far, the best of the four.
