No.2 Upper Riverside, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10

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

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.

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

Lots of restaurants and shops due to the 02, good size parks near by and private parking. Jubilee is great for getting to central quickly. Missing a post office.

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

Building management have attempted to resolve any issue I’ve had.

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

There isn’t loads around the area. The nearest post office is Canary Wharf for example.

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

The range of shops and restaurants is average. A lot of it is chains and not many independent brands. In addition to this, a lot of the food (e.g Wagammas and the Design District Canteen) is catered towards the British palate). I wish there was more flower shops, post office, opticians, etc. as there is a lack of that in the area...I really wish there were more grocery options as well as near the building there is one poorly stocked Tesco which never seems to have anything you need. I wish there were more diverse grocery options. To add, the parking availability is good but tends to be expensive due to the demand 02 event.

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

Take absolutely forever to respond. Once they're here, it's alright but in general terrible management.

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

I wish I knew the state of the management. I wish I knew there was a lack of grocery stores and other fundamental shops.
