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

It is right outside a victoria line tube station so it is easy to get in and out of the area. There isn't much built around it - only has a few small shops and cafes. You will need to travel to go grocery shopping properly.

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

If something was broken the maintenance team were quick and helpful to fix. The management team are unhelpful and do drag their feet a lot.

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

Look into the area more. If you want more things to do in the area maybe this is not the place for you as it is quite outside of london.

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

The area is great, with convenient local shops, a gym nearby, and easy access to the Wetlands. Having Blackhorse road station nearby is definitely a plus.

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

What makes this even worse is their complete lack of communication. They do not answer phone calls, nor do they respond to emails, it is beyond ridiculous.

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

I wish I had known how poorly Equipment Works handles financial matters and communication. While the area is great with local shops, a gym, and easy access to the Wetlands, dealing with their management has been frustrating. They overcharge, delay deposit refunds, and are impossible to reach by phone or email. Had I known this beforehand, I would have looked elsewhere to avoid the hassle.

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

There are lovely open spaces nearby, perfect for relaxing or going on a walk. The transport links are excellent—you can reach Central London in under 20 minutes, making commuting very convenient. The street itself is pleasant and well-maintained, with regular bin collections, easy parking, and minimal traffic noise. It’s a great place to live with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

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

The building management has responded promptly and effectively to any issues raised. They address concerns quickly and ensure that any necessary repairs or maintenance are handled without delay.

it would have been helpful to learn about the parking restrictions in the area to better plan for guests.
