Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I know how the flats of different directions looked at different time of the day.

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

To be honest it’s great not having to get the underground and the fact that we’re only 1 stop to London Bridge on a train is great. We don’t drive but when our friends come to visit they struggle to find parking, that’s the only downside, not having parking.

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

Any problems we’ve had they have been very efficient

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The only issue we have is our window is right by a courtyard that the public uses and it can feel invasive as it’s right the sitting room window. Had we known about this before we moved in we might have taken a different flat. We would prefer if it was closed off from public use.
