Write a Review Upload PhotosWe really enjoy living here
Transport links are fabulous, very close to 3x useful stations and easy to get to London Bridge and beyond. Bins need to be collected more often, but I expect that is a symptom of lockdown. No traffic noise, some train noise but that is to be expected. We really enjoy living here.

No traffic noise, some train noise but that is to be expected. Mixed recycling is a bonus but no food waste disposal is odd. Overall, we really enjoy living here.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You can see your neighbours and they can see you. Get some new PJs and some big plants or suffer the consequences!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes and usually very speedily and efficiently, apart from one, which we have been waiting on almost a year.

Brilliant development
A fantastic development with a real arty edge and history of the roots of the area. Different from a lot of new developments which can be soulless and without any sense of community. Well run, larger than average flats with bigger outside spaces too.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Well connected and plenty of local shops and restaurants.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The only thing that I would like to know is the pub opposite needs to be redeveloped
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
I would not change anything about it. It is a great flat.

Hello,
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review.
We love the vibrancy that the art studios bring Deptford Foundry and it is important that history is woven throughout the design and construction of the development – thank you for commenting.
There is a pub called Lord Palmerston just under the rail bridge which is currently being redeveloped alongside 6 x 2 bedroom homes. The building directly opposite the Arklow Road entrance of the development is called Safa House and has been a storage facility more recently but is of historical interest to the local area. Planning permission has been recieved to class it as residental use but I believe they still await full planning permission for the desired 14/16 flats with cafe space on the ground floor. Fingers crossed though!
Best regards,
Georgia
Great area and fantastic development

Love living in Deptford Foundry; the experience is great. The area is an underrated spot in zone 2 with great transport links to central and east London. So much development is happening, it feels like an exciting place to live.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known more about the home buying process before starting the process.

Brilliant place to live – would recommend to anyone!
The development is finished to a very high spec. Floor to ceiling windows throughout the flat mean it is very light and bright. The views from Cobalt Tower across the entire City of London and Canary Wharf are incredible. Having a concierge 6 days a week is also a massive benefit.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Very close to both New Cross and Deptford stations for easy transport links into London Bridge and the City. Also very close to the Thames Path and lovely for a walk/run along to the river to the Cutty Sark/Greenwich.
What is the best feature of your home:
Floor to ceiling windows throughout with incredible views over the City and Canary Wharf.

Really lovely development with great design touch’s. A couple of things could be better such as the property management and some minor interior issues; but overall I am very happy here, glad I purchased. Feel very at home.
Would recommend Anthology!!

Good building poorly managed
The buildings have been constructed at a good standard. However, there were obvious flaws – such as weak magnetic locks that have allowed to break-ins every now an then.
The building management isn’t any good. Management charges are high and the services provided are subpar.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Walking distance to green spaces / parks as well as Thames Pathway.
There are cycle ways cutting through the neighborhood making it easy to get to central London and the City.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The bicycle storage rooms aren’t safe. There have been many break-ins and thefts.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Responses, when any, are not great – usually in a passive-aggressive tone.
