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

There is plenty of options right on your door step. From pubs to restaurants, even the high street which has a plethora of commercial fastfood places and equally as many super markets to go to. But why do so when tescos Is right on your doorstep 😘. Accessibility to get around the city is fantastic, from DLR, overground going into the heart of London or out of. The building team are fantastic as well! Very thoughtful and communicative. Always saying hello and nothing seems to be too much for them to help with. As I've been living here happily for 2 years now and was on of the first to move into the block

Excellent Tesco supermarket Excellent transport connections Station area precinct is definitely unsafe at night. Recent suicide and high crime rate.

As a retired guy in my early 70’s I will not be able to leave or return to the apartment after dark due to safety concerns.
