Fizzy Canning Town, E16

As for the design of the building and facilities, it is modern, new and gives a welcoming feeling. They have parking and bike storage!!

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

This area is close to everything like grocery shops, fast foods, 24 hours shops, tube and dlr stations oh and bus stop right outside your house too, restaurants, basketball court, gyms if you’re an active person and more

I guess the bad side is you will be motivated to go out and have more fresh air than just staying home all the time. Which is not really bad.

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

I wish I had known the amount of dust that comes in inside the flat..

But its not that bad if I knew, I would have chosen a higher floor lol.

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

They are very quick and efficient with the response.

In the summer months it is not easy to cool down the apartment and regularly reached 30+ degrees and in the winter the full window balcony is a massive drain of heat, and with only basic blinds.

Pros:
The property management is first class, beyond any of the places I’ve lived in London, and alone has been the reason I’ve continued to live here. Serina, has been of great help during the pandemic, and keeps all resisdents updated with all useful news about the Apartments. Serina is always going above and beyond what I would expect of a property manager.

Cons – Overall Canning town is not an ideal place to spend a pandemic, there are limited green spaces and largely a lot of takeaways. The place is very noisy.

Pros – Should you need to there is the Canning Tube station less than 5 minute walk away and secure car & bike parking beneath the building

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

How noisy the place would be and how hot the place would be in summer.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

The noise/soundproofing, the aparment is very noisy there are two main roads either side of the apartment, and the flooring/walls carry the noise from other apartments, especially with everyone working remotely.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Transport is fantastic and so is the range of restaurants on deliveroo (which in lockdown is fairly important)!

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

There is a huge difference in terms of noise depending on if you get a flat facing the overpass or the high street. The latter is perfect and the former is quite loud.

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

We had an issue with the shower and it was fixed the same day. The heating issue took longer, but it was a more complex issue and over Christmas, so that’s to be expected.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

With Morrison open very close by the quality of the shop went up, plus the market just outside the front door is very interesting. The short walk to the underground jubilee line is just what everyone needs. Barking Road is always vibrant, never get tired of it.

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

Bills included and reconciliation, pet friendly and property management in hose.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

If there is a thing I would like to change is the fridges some flats have, quite small.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Very good location next to the tube station and bus stop connected to all London.
Supermarkets, restaurants and shops close by and new businesses oppening up soon

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

No surprises here, everything was seen and talked about at the viewing

What is the best feature of your home:

Best feature has to be the location, close to transport and supermarkets

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The Canning Town underground and DLR station are a 5 minute walk away. Excellent transport links on your doorstep.
The building is situated on a market square which is rarely noisy or busy at night. The building also offers parking and hun storage.
The only downside to Canning Town is local shops availability. Whilst there is a post office, coop and Morrison’s on your door step, the area could benefit from more small shops and restaurants.

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

To be aware that there are no lovely local shops in the area

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

Prompt and helpful responses. Every time I’ve had an issue or needed help, our Bob was helpful and keen to help.

Serina the building concierge is absolutely fantastic and I’m impressed with how quickly maintenance arrive to fix issues, even in lock down.

The fact they’re pet friendly is fantastic too.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

5 minutes from Canning Town tube station, and the walk always feels safe even at night with plenty of lighting, fellow commuters and people going in and out the 24 hour gym.

The Co-op just round the corner is super convenient for when you run out of milk, and the big Morrison’s is only a 5 minute walk away for your main shop.

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

Victoria Docks just down the road is awesome in Summer, and the Pizza bus place is incredible

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

The bins could be taken emptied more often, and it can be a chore having guests use the car park.

The Fizzy garden is really nice. It has grass, wooden decking and a little feature and pond.

The block is well designed. It seems open and spacious and doesn’t seem to hold the smell of everyone’s cooking unlike many other apartment blocks.

The community feeling is lovely. This is in part due to the Fizzy App. I feel very safe and at home here.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Fizzy Canning Town is on a bustling typical London high street with fantastic transport links. It’s 15 mins from London Bridge on the Jubalee Line and has a range of diverse restaurants and cuisine right on the door step. There is a co-op and big Morrisons fewer than 4 minutes walk away.

Although Fizzy Canning Town has a lovely shared garden, there aren’t a huge number of open green spaces compared with other areas of London.

There is traffic noise of you have a flat overlooking the overpass, but if you face the garden or the main road then the noise is limited and the windows are very well sound proofed.

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

I wish I’d known how much quieter it would have been if I’d got a flat that did not overlook the overpass.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

In a magical world I would move my flat closer to green outdoor spaces and the river.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Great transport links and options for grocery shopping in close proximity. Close to noisy highway but the windows block out the sound when closed. Not too many restaurants around nor pubs.

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

As a new comer to London I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Video tours allowed me to choose the flat when I was unable to visit and it turned out bigger than expected!

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

Supportive management quickly resolved any issues that came up.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Transport links in this area are good. Area around our flat is amazing too but it’s a shame that the rest of the Canning town area is not more developed. Morrisons shopping center is only behind the corner however I do believe that some nice restaurants are missing here.

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

Great accommodation for the price; would appreciate more cafeterias/bars/restaurants in the area

What is the best feature of your home:

Very big terrace and open kitchen, full of huge windows
