Drayton Green, W13

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

Drayton Green has convenient transport links and nearby shops, with open spaces like Drayton Green Park adding value. However, recycling bins often overflow, common areas can remain littered, and streetlights have been out for a long time. Parking is limited, staff responses are slow, and repairs sometimes take too long or are done to a poor standard. Management does make efforts to engage tenants, and Shannon’s outreach is appreciated, but overall maintenance and responsiveness need improvement.

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

I wish I had known how often recycling bins overflow, how long common areas stay littered, and how difficult it can be to reach officers and management—but I also value that Shannon and the team genuinely seek tenant feedback.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is its peaceful setting and proximity to green spaces, which provide a sense of calm and sanctuary. The layout is functional, and the location offers reasonably convenient access to transport links and nearby shops.

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

Coleridge Square is in a good area very close to the Elizabeth line which is a big plus, the area has all the amenities nearby.

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

That the rent goes up yearly higher than inflation.

What is the best feature of your home:

Being near the Elizabeth line is a great advantage.
