Best thing about the area is the dog friendliness - not only the development, but the nearby parks and Thames path are full of happy furry friends. Location is good, jubilee is the best tube line in London, the area is now very lovely with multiple places to eat and hang out. However, parking is definitely awful, we have an allocated one in the underground parking, but it is awfully narrow hardly fitting our small sedane and to top it up, there is an opening in the ceiling from which all the dirt goes on the car when it rains. Noise is also a factor, even on the twentieth floor you get a fair share of tube scratching, weekly fireworks, screaming and shouting from the concert goers and the worst - enging revving each night from a group of motorbike riders that gather near the river.

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

We had to chase property management for several weeks to even get their attention. Then the maintenance needed multiple visits for a simple fix. I would say this is one of the biggest downsides of the development. But the letting agency crew we can't fault, Ricardo is amazing!

We used to live in Building 1 before we moved away from the complex and now back in Building 2, so there wasn't anything that surprised us.

One of the most significant drawbacks of North Greenwich is its distance from the heart of London. This makes it inconvenient for those seeking the lively and dynamic city experience. While the Jubilee Line provides access to central London, the constant need to rely on public transportation becomes tiresome and time-consuming. Additionally, I've encountered safety concerns in North Greenwich. At times, the area can feel dangerous, especially during late hours. The lack of a visible police presence and adequate security measures has left me feeling uneasy and vulnerable. The commercial focus of the area is another disappointing aspect. It seems that profit-driven businesses take precedence over creating a thriving community environment. The lack of local independent shops, cafes, and cultural spaces further contributes to the area's overall lackluster atmosphere. Overall, my experience in North Greenwich has been underwhelming. The distance from London, the absence of a vibrant community, the excessive commercialization, and safety concerns have all played a part in my disappointment. I would advise those seeking an authentic London experience to consider other neighborhoods that offer a stronger sense of community and a safer environment. If you work in Canary Wharf , there are better properties in the area, otherwise stay in Bermondsey, it’s a vibrant and wonderful neighbourhood.

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

Unresponsive. it's essential for them to promptly and effectively address any problems or issues raised by residents. Responsive building management should prioritize open communication, actively listen to residents' concerns, and work towards finding satisfactory solutions. Timely response, proactive problem-solving, and clear communication are key qualities of effective building management. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my experience.

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

I have had a concerning experience with the building management in regards to their contractors' unauthorized use of body cameras. When I asked for details about what they had filmed while I was in the house, they outright refused to provide any information. Additionally, despite my complaints, the property management completely ignored my concerns and failed to address the issue appropriately. This lack of transparency and dismissive attitude towards residents' complaints is highly disappointing and raises serious privacy and trust issues.
