Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Elizabeth line is great, a lot of new shops are opening up in the area. Third Space has a gym nearby
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They always give just empty promises, they always write it if they care about you, but there are 0 results to show for it.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I thought that a company owned by Canary Wharf Group would take more accountability.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in the Canary Wharf area is incredibly convenient, with everything you need within walking distance from high-quality restaurants and cafes to gyms, shops, and green spaces. The area feels very safe, clean, and well-maintained, with excellent transport connections via the Jubilee and Elizabeth Lines as well as DLR. There’s a great community atmosphere and the neighbourhood remains quiet and peaceful despite being so central. I honestly can’t think of any major downsides perhaps just that it’s so convenient you rarely want to leave
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management team has been exceptional. Any issue raised is acknowledged and resolved promptly, often within the same day. They are attentive, friendly, and always maintain the building to a very high standard.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That living here would set the bar so high for future apartments!
Manager response
Hello Yasemin, Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you’re enjoying life at 8 Water Street, from the apartment design and facilities to the community events and team support. It’s fantastic to know the Vertus team and concierge have made such a positive impression and helped create a welcoming experience. We’re equally pleased that you love the Canary Wharf area and all its convenience, it really does offer the best of city living with a peaceful atmosphere. Your kind words truly mean a lot to the whole team, and we’re so glad to hear you feel right at home with Vertus.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Fantastic location with an abundance of food and beverage options. Connectivity to transport is fantastic too. Despite the many people who visit the great things Wood Wharf has to offer the location is quiet and enjoyable.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
teams but some items remain unfixed such as our deck and we now have no ceiling in the bathroom.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
energy costs are very high and some fittings are broken and cannot be repaired.
