Great transport links with plenty of ways to get places and in a short amount of time. Nearby shops also make it extremely convenient. Only thing is lack of available parking for guests.

Building management respond well to any issues in communal areas, e.g. with leaks in rise cupboards.

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

The true facilities available in addition to the very high energy bills negotiated by the propertt management

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

The building is in a nice area, close to CW mall with secure underground parking and easy access to public transport. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby. There's some wanna-be gangsters who drive with their cars at night and rev the engine but I guess you get that everywhere in London.. also lots of weed smell everywhere.

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

I wish I knew about the standing charges, nobody told us and the landlords didn't know either. Now we are all trapped in contracts with outrageous charges that we can't get away from.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Get away from Galliard and SSE, then change the Management altogether.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Change the furniture quality, everything is breaking of everyday usage, which shouldn't be like that

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

The location is fabulous! There are all kinds of shops and restaurants around. The area I live is so peaceful to walk around/jog and feeling calm from the quiet while its only mins away from busy commercial areas. Less than 10 mins there are options of underground and DLR that can take me to everywhere in London. Concierge staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately there's no bin-collection in the building and I have to go to the bin room in the basement. The property management team recently introduced a new parcel system and direct the carriers to leave all parcels in the parcel area in he basement. Even though you need a code to enter but once enter, there's no human monitoring which parcel you take. There's no clear responsibility ownership if a parcel is missing. I actually just lost a parcel and still in the process to locate it and no clue who I should ask compensation.

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

I had issues with the electricity and painting. They responded and fixed within a week.

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

I wish I had known how the cooling/heating, water and electricity services were billed.

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

Pub: close to Pepper, one of the best pub on IOD View: beautiful view to Thames and city Parking: catastrophe, dont use car in big cities, or buy parking in the garage

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

This view is much better than i thought. Better air condition would be great.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Unfurnitured flat would be better or more space to unused stuff.
