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.

There are nearby restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets. Transport links are convenient, with Battersea Park Station and Vauxhall Station within walking distance (about 10 minutes to the tube. Overall, the location offers a great balance of amenities and tranquility. As for living on my street, it's generally quiet with no major issues regarding parking, bin collections, or anti-social behavior. The proximity to amenities and transport links makes it an ideal location.

Couldnt be happier if there was a sauna in the building, but hopefully management would consider as it is very important during winter season.

battersea is a vibrant place with large shopping malls and parks, as well as convenient amenities. It's next to the U.S. Embassy, so it's very safe. There is also a train station and tube station, making it easy to get to all parts of London.

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

Local area is great. Lots of services/restaurants/bars within 5-10 minute walk. Being close to Northern line is great for getting into the city. We live towards the front of the building and the main road is fairly loud if we have the terrace doors open. We can slightly hear the very loud/obnoxious vehicles with the doors closed.

Management were unresponsive in my only attempt to contact them

The "hireable" rooms on the 17th floor were a big sell for us but we used them once and found out as part of booking: - we could not play our own music - the lights have only one setting - very bright - we had to be silent from 10pm as people on the 16th floor complain about noise. - the rooms are very expensive to hire (most are £500+) I would've expected the lane pool in Bloom West to open earlier than 9am so people could do a pre-work swim. Plus, it was closed for 6 months over winter. It was decided the best time to close the Bloom East pool for 1 month for maintenance was just as the weather started getting nicer in April and May. It's rare to find the 3 lifts by reception in East all working at the same time. It sometimes goes to just 1 lift so plan for 2-5 minutes of waiting for the lift when leaving the building.

Close by to a station, Battersea power station and lots of restaurants. Also very close to a park which is really convenient. The area feels safe and there is great little to no traffic noise at night.

An induction of how to use all of the facilities would be really helpful for new tenants moving in. Particularly on the heating and cooling.
