Balfron Tower, E14

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

Locally, the main area where there is a great deal of activity is Canary Wharf. Poplar itself, unfortunately feels very underdevelopment and borderline rural — which is odd for London. Fortunately, I feel I have everything I need in Balfron Tower. Equally, I work in the city, in Liverpool Street and I feel I get plenty of opportunities to see some what makes London a vibrant city.

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

I feel problems are solved very quickly, unless it's an area of expertise where they can't be to blame, like the lifts.

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

There isn't really anything I wish I'd known before I moved in, I'm very happy to be living in Balfron Tower.

Local area wasn’t amazing but it had good transport links and was very quiet and peaceful. Not any supermarkets near by which was annoying

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

They’ve responded and tried to help with issues - the lift situation was a nightmare but they did offer temp accommodation as we had a 1 years old and lived on level 18 lol

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

That there was no shopping center nearby or any supermarkets close

The area is quiet. Lovely community. The street is clean and looked after. The area has a range of shops that are very convenient. Transport is well connected. Some traffic sound, but nothing to complain about.

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

They have responded quickly, with action. Our extractor fan needed some work and they arranged everything - quickly, coinciding with my personal weekly plan. They have also arranged for certain areas to be re-painted in the flat, keeping the space to the best possible standard. They are extremely friendly and hard working. They add that extra piece of community to the building.

If possible, I would have loved to have known more about the community area outside the building and how to get involved in upcoming nights such as BINGO etc. Sounds like there could be some fun nights. And also just good to get to know the residents in the area.

Very nice and beautiful area. All the shops, restaurants, and stations are nearby, making it a very comfortable and convenient location. The surroundings are clean and well-maintained, and it’s a great place to go for a run or do some outdoor exercise. The concierge team is excellent — especially Lia, who is always very helpful, professional, and friendly. Whenever anyone needs assistance, she’s always there, no matter what. I’m very happy to have moved to Balfron Tower. Thank you! 🙏

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

Quick and efficient. Always very helpful and efficient.
