Balfron Tower, E14

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

It's a quiet and peaceful residential area. While there are not many pubs and bars around Canary wharf is a short walk or bike ride a way and you can find everything you need there. There's a Sainsbury's nearby and also a cute bakery/cafe and park a short walk away. The canal is also close by and I often go running there. Hackney Wick is also a 15 minute bike ride away.

Very residential area with local shops and no big grocery stores, pubs, restaurants, etc. near the Dlr which makes the secluded location manageable.
