Fizzy Stepney Green, E1

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

I can’t fault it, it’s secure, well designed, quiet but close to transport and for me it’s close to work.

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

The doorbell rings your mobile – and I don’t get any reception! My partner does but I don’t, darn!

What is the best feature of your home:

There’s plenty of space in the 2 bed flats and the patio area is a great size too

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

Building is very close to both Stepney Green, Whitechapel, Mile End and Limehouse station, providing access to 5 different lines in walking distance. Many groceries stores can be found at Mile End road, such as Co-op, Sainsbury’s and a huge ASDA. Also a few pubs and restaurants/coffee shops.

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

I was happily surprised by how warm the flat is, even during winter time the heating is barely turned on and the flat is always around 20 degrees.

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

There isn’t much that I would change. Possibly a 24h concierge.

Deliveries situation is amazing as they let them in so no worries about being out for any type of delivery. I was out when my bed was delivered and came home to it waiting for me which was perfect! thanks building staff! Normal items go into a parcel room to collect at your convenience.

The only qualm i have though is we used to have a foyer including snacks/tea/coffee seating and a TV which disappeared shortly after we entered due to renovations. These are still missing and not seen too much renovating which is a little disappointing as quite liked that foyer.

The place is pet friendly and they have their own foyer section for dog treats and bowls which is nice for pet owners.

All in all I think this is a great place to live.

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

The location is fairly evenly placed between Stepney Green station (7min walk) and Mile End station (10 min walk) so between the two you have access to district/circle/hammersmith and city and the Central Line. It takes about 20 mins average to get to bank door to door from Stepney Green getting of at Monument.
So working in the city is a breeze for a commute.

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

the foyer would disappear within weeks.

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

bring my foyer back please. I used to like waiting for cabs in this space.

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

I like the location because it is near to 2 undergrounds : central line and district line. Sometimes district line is closed but the central line is open always. Near to different bus stations.
There are 3 Supermarkets near here : Coop, Sainsbury’s and Asda.
There are 2 parks near the building and Victoria park is near also. ( I love running around the canal)

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

You can open the whole window.
Just move the lock that have below!

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

I would like to have more wardrobe spaces in my bedroom.
Sometimes the lift is dirty because people with dogs use it and don’t clean dog’s drool.

I like the area because it is well connected and has access to Green spaces

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

How good the heating is. I didn’t expect that the place will be this warm.

What is the best feature of your home:

Great location and impeccable service. Makes it very hard to consider moving elsewhere.

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

Stepney Green is located in an amazing quiet and well connected location. You are basically in the heart of London but still have the nice residential feel with parks and canals. A very healthy living area.

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

Nothing. It is great.

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

I wish the bike shed was bigger and the bikes slightly more spaced out. Association with a gym would be nice too.

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

Close to the Stepney Green, Mile End and Limehouse tube stations.

Lots of nearby stores for buying groceries.

Nearby Victoria Park, Mile End Park and Stepney Green Park

Good restaurants in the area. Deliveroo gives you a bunch of options as a result.

One bad thing about the development is that it tends to increase its rent every year (this year being the one exception). The communal gardens also often get _very_ noisy during the summer when children go outside and play. Because its in an enclosed area, the screams tend to echo very loudly along with any bicycles/toy cars they ride along the tracks. This is especially annoying during the summer months when you really want to open a window but it would result in very very loud noises.

Rent increases each year and the very noisy communal garden during the summer

What is the best feature of your home:

Location is very good for getting into central london

*There are some noisy tenants on the ground floor corridor, but on the whole it is a great place to live.

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

The area is great being so close to Stepney and Limehouse stations.
Great shops nearby and lots of good running routes.

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

I wish I had known how nice this area is as it was better than expected

What is the best feature of your home:

The outdoor space we have and the fact it is pet friendly

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

The apartments are nice and modern. Furnishings are comfortable and they even switch a few tables for us upon request. The location is not…my favorite in London. But if you work close to Canada Water or in the city, it will be ideal. I do not like that my small dog costs 50 pounds extra per month. I think children cause more of a mess than my tiny dog every has. For the price, I think they should also include more amenities (coffee room, gym) like similar buildings in different areas. There used to be a coffee machine and book club but they got rid of it for now.

Fizzy living is an ideal location for a pet friendly building. Not having a garden can be difficult owning a little dog but being able to take her to the park across the road makes a massive difference. A 7 minute walk from Stepney Green and 11 minutes from Mile End means the transport links are also pretty great.
