Florence Dock, SW11

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

The good aspect is that it feels safe, the proximity to river is great. So I want to go out and take a lil break, I can just walk to the riverbank which is amazing I think . It also a quiet area, so I have experienced any traffic noise. I don't know about parking because I don't own a car however there's designated place for parking bikes in the building itself. One are I see it could have been better is proximity to tube station, there isnt any tube station close by which is somewhat of a con I feel. Once in a while I've seen some litter outside the building which should also be improved. Otherwise all is good.

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

Yes I recently raised a concern related to maintenance and it was looked into by the team which is great.

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

Not a biggie but if I would have known the almirah structure of the studio rooms that would have been better to plan on what all I should bring in as part of the move.

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

Plenty of supermarkets and walking distance to Wandsworth town and Clapham junction too with buses right outside

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

Repairs are usually carried out next day or addressed by staff as soon as possible

All bills included which is great. Walking distance to big Sainsbury’s

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

I really enjoy living in this area. The transport links are excellent, with reliable bus routes and easy access into central London, which makes commuting very convenient. There’s a Co-op directly opposite the building for everyday essentials, and a large Sainsbury’s about a 20-minute walk away or a short door-to-door bus ride on the C3. There are also plenty of cafes, restaurants and green spaces nearby, which gives the area a lively but balanced feel. Living on the street itself is generally pleasant. Bin storage is located in the basement, which keeps things tidy and makes disposal easy. Like most London streets there can be some traffic noise during busier periods, but overall it feels safe and well connected.

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

Any problems or issues I’ve raised have been handled through the Folk App, which keeps everything straightforward and easy to track. The app makes it simple to log requests, upload details and follow progress, and responses are usually prompt. It’s helpful having everything in one place, as it keeps communication clear and organised.

When I first moved in, I was only considering a 6-month tenancy. I then opted for a year — and now I’ve extended to a year and a half! I think what I wish I’d known from the start is just how quickly it would start to feel like home. Sometimes it’s hard to gauge that from a viewing alone, but the overall feel of the building, the design, and the ease of living here really do make a difference day to day. My tip to a new neighbour would be to give it a little time - once you settle in, it genuinely feels like home.

Beautiful location, I had to pinch myself walking home by the river at sunset. Clapham Junction 15mins away and a co-op/cafes across the road were super convenient.

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

I didn't have any issues that needed responding to.

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

Honestly nothing, just experience it with new eyes.

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

Located a bit far from central London for my liking! However, it is close to the Thames which is nice and you can get an uber boat which is really convenient! Local buses take a while to get to places or you have Clapham Junction which is 15-20min walk away. Just no tube. Local supermarket is Co-op but the food tends to go off, recommend going abit further afield to get quality food and drink (milk tends to go off the next day).

Washing machines kept breaking down and took a long time to fix

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

Wish I knew that the washing machines often break down, I should have been the actual room i was going to stay in (felt like false advertisement as I had a view of my neighbours), why are the walls so thin, why can i smell my neighbours food in my room (the fish made me feel sick), and the post room is not secure.
