Bloom Nine Elms, SW11

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

The local area is simply perfect from many perspectives. With a diverse demographic mix, it's vibrant and welcoming. With local amenities, services, restaurants, and exclusive venues all within reach, there's always something to do. Additionally, the new Battersea area offers various transportation choices, facilitating travel in any direction. The area is peaceful, and I highly recommend it.

It was nice to discover that in addition to all the services and amenities available, there was also an organization for courses, workshops, and other events. It's very enjoyable to participate in all of this.

Great if you are looking to be close to central London but still in a relatively quiet area. Good bike and tube connections to virtually anywhere in London. Obviously the modernity is not for everyone but you have easy access to more traditional neighbourhoods

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

There really were no problems with the apartment, everything worked vey well which makes sense given how new it was.

Worth asking about free months / rent promotions - there was some discounting going on initially which I wasn’t aware of and probably overpaid slightly.

The good: You’re conveniently located between the Victoria line in Vauxhall (10 min walk), and the Northern line at Battersea Power station (5 min walk). Bloom apartments also have a bus stop directly across the street. You have a lovely riverwalk along the Thames that you can access across the street as well. Other points of interest are Battersea Park (one of the most beautiful in London) and Battersea power station which provides every convenience and shopping need in addition to dining, and entertainment. The neighborhood feels very safe with the proximity to the American embassy and is kept very clean. The bad: On a busy main road (Nine Elms Ln), so lots of traffic noise and it is a high construction build area so this noise is also constant, but you cannot hear the noise inside the building unless your windows are open. Beyond the attractions listed above, the neighborhood is still being built up, so it lacks a high street, many dining options, cafes, bars etc.

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

Customer service is the hardest job out there and the staff and management go out of their way to provide a high level of service and support to each resident that is incredibly uncommon for apartment living. No one gets it perfect but their extra efforts do not go unnoticed. Special thanks to Jo-Ann Duffy and Christopher Lavery. They are exceptional.

Bloom is incredibly dog friendly and so is the neighborhood! Your dog can go everywhere with you including most restaurants bars shops etc. Huge plus!

I did not have any negative comments about the area. I loved that it was near a lot of restaurant coffee shops, and especially the new battercy tube station.

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

So far I haven’t had any issues, but it’s been smooth with everything else.

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

That there was a gym, because I wouldn’t have continued with another when one is available on the building.

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

The local area is probably one of the nicest areas I’ve see in London, a lot of space, great transport links and a quiet neighbourhood - also close to big shopping facilities and activities

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

So far, we’ve been fortunate enough to not experience any issues or problems.

Having two buildings, it’s great to have different spaces to go, part of the fun is finding these spaces but also could help people seeing this on day one!
