Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great area and locality - safe , clean, great restaurants, bars etc and good shopping. Great for pets too.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always - Umar has been highly receptive and such a pleasant guy to deal with. More people like him - just makes things easy to deal with.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Didn’t realise I could have had furniture removed that I didn’t need!! Also parking for moving in and out is too restrictive - need to be more flexible as stressful enough without the restrictive nature re time etc
Manager response

The location is second to none, the building and day to day staff are fantastic but management let it down

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area (Canary Wharf) is immaculately maintained. There’s a clear sense of pride and care with regular clean-up teams who keep everything spotless. Bins are emptied frequently, the pavements are jet-washed regularly, and you won’t find dog mess or litter anywhere – genuinely impressive for a busy London neighbourhood. The landscaping is also a standout feature. Flower beds are beautifully maintained year-round, and open green spaces are plentiful and perfect for walks or relaxing outdoors. Transport links are nothing short of exceptional. You’ve got the Elizabeth Line, Jubilee Line, DLR, and even the Uber Boat, which makes commuting or getting across London an absolute breeze. Whether you’re heading to the West, Central, City, East and even Heathrow, or enjoying a scenic ride down the Thames, you’re incredibly well connected. I’ve never had a problem with delays or overcrowding – and having this many options is a massive bonus. Local amenities are excellent too. There’s a strong mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and well-known names, so you’re never short of good food, drinks, or convenience shopping. Bars are stylish but not rowdy – the area strikes the perfect balance between vibrancy and calm. On a day-to-day level, living here is peaceful. The presence of private security offers real peace of mind, especially in the evenings, and helps the area feel safe and respected. There’s very little in the way of anti-social behaviour – it feels like a well-managed, community-first environment. Parking is abundantly available for day parking (undergound secure car parks), but high prices for a monthly space, bin collections are reliable, and traffic noise is minimal, even during peak times. All in all, it’s a clean, secure, well-connected place to live with excellent amenities and a really pleasant atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend (the area) more.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Unfortunately, this is a mixed review - Umar has been exceptional in dealing with specific maintenance requests, efficient and very polite. However, the building management are useless, not empathetic, ignore you for months on end and not helpful. My windows have not been cleaned more than once in 12 months on one side and on the other side they have NEVER been cleaned since I moved in three years ago. Despite many emails and requests on the landlords in-house app, I have had minimal response from management (they stepped in over Umar). They ignore lots of my emails and seem to not want to clean my windows for some reason!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Management doesn't care about you and they hike the rent up extortionately every opportunity whilst remove services and benefits at the same time - costs more for less,
Manager response
Hello John, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're genuinely pleased to hear how much you’ve enjoyed the building overall—from the fantastic location and transport links to the beautifully kept communal areas. It’s also lovely to hear that the front-of-house team and events team, have made a positive impression during your time with us. That said, we really do appreciate you raising the concerns around maintenance and property management. We’re sorry to hear about the recurring issues with the building doors and the challenges you’ve experienced with communication. This certainly isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback is being taken seriously. We're so pleased to hear that Umar has been a standout support for you, and we’ll make sure he hears your kind words. That said, we're genuinely sorry to hear about the ongoing frustration with window cleaning and the lack of response you've experienced. This certainly isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how inconvenient this must be. Your feedback will be raised with the relevant teams so we can look into what’s gone wrong and work toward a resolution. We also completely understand how frustrating it must be when changes to services and pricing impact your experience, especially when your initial expectations were different. We aim to offer a high standard of living and amenities, and we’re disappointed to hear that you now feel the value doesn’t match up. Rent and service adjustments are never made lightly and are influenced by a range of factors, but we absolutely take your concerns seriously. It's important to us that our residents feel heard and supported, and we’ll make sure your comments are shared with the relevant teams so we can continue to improve.
