Bale & Anchor, SE13

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The convenience of living right next to Lewisham station is unmatched. I thought I’d be too far away from Central but it takes about 15 minutes to get to London Bridge which is amazing. The Tesco beside our building is perfect because it has everything you could need. I think we need more local bars and restaurants but I’ve enjoyed what we have so far and we’re not too far from Deptford and Greenwich where there’s a ton to do.

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

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area is great for young professionals working more central. The train connections and DLR makes commute super-easy and quick - even with delays and disruptions there are always back up options. There are loads of places to shop and eat out in the area, and the development continues with even more places opening quite often. There is a bit of train noise in the area, but we got used to it very quickly. People are lovely and area feels very safe.

There is a large Tesco supermarket conveniently located close by. Blackheath Common and Greenwich Park are a short walk up the hill. Lewisham Station is right next door, allowing an easy and quick commute into the city. Overall the location is pleasant and I have not felt at all unsafe in the past year.

Yes, they are generally good at responding to maintenance requests. In particular, Junior is very friendly and helpful! He recently fixed an issue with our ventilation system.
