If you're looking at No. 26, you're buying into a lifestyle of pure, unapologetic convenience. I'll cut to the chase—this place is practically built into East Croydon station. 1. The Proximity is Life-Changing Forget "proximity"—you can get from the building lobby to the London-bound platforms in about 120 seconds if you walk fast. My commute to London Bridge is 15 minutes, start to finish. If you travel for work, Gatwick is 15 minutes away, which is a game-changer. You don't just live near transport; the building is the transport hub. The Super-Pro: That SL7 Superloop bus stop on Dingwall Road is a hidden gem. You can jump on a rapid bus to Heathrow without messing around with the tubes. 2. High-Spec, High-Rise Perks The apartments themselves are solid. The floor-to-ceiling windows are a non-negotiable feature; they make the compact flats feel airy, and the views from the higher levels are genuinely spectacular, especially at sunrise. The Conran furnishings are stylish and save you the hassle of moving bulky furniture. Amenity MVP: The rooftop terraces are where the value truly kicks in. When the weather's good, having a 23rd-floor view while having a drink is amazing. The communal co-working space is a huge help if you WFH, stopping you from getting cabin fever in your studio or one-bed. 3. Management and Vibe The on-site team (concierge/management) is the heartbeat of No. 26. They actually know your name, they accept all your Amazon parcels (a lifesaver), and they run a decent number of events, which helps stop the building from feeling like a sterile high-rise. Maintenance issues are usually fixed within a day or two. The Local Scene: You're not just near the high street; you're right next to BOXPARK, which is great for spontaneous food and drinks. The new bar, Trickle, is right on Dingwall Road and is a popular after-work spot.

The local area surrounding 26 Dingwall Road is excellent in every aspect. The range and quality of local shops, restaurants, and open spaces are remarkable. Within walking distance, you will find Church Street Market, the vibrant Whitgift Centre, and Centrale Shopping Centre, all offering a fantastic selection of retail outlets and dining options. The variety of restaurants and cafes cater to diverse tastes, providing everything from international cuisine to local British fare. There are also ample green spaces for relaxation. The transport links from the property are superb. With a direct train line to Central London just minutes away, commuting is quick and easy, making it ideal for anyone working in the city. Gatwick Airport is just a short distance from the building, which is incredibly convenient for travel. Additionally, the nearby local libraries are well-maintained and offer a peaceful space for reading or study. The Croydon Council is only a 5-minute walk away, ensuring quick access to local services. Although the streets immediately surrounding the building are clean and well-kept, there are some areas further out that may occasionally need attention—though this is a broader issue affecting many parts of the UK. It should be noted, however, that this did not directly impact us in any significant way during our stay. In fact, this area offers a quality of living far superior to the central London location I lived in for the previous seven years.

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

The building management has been exemplary in their response to any queries or issues we raised. Any concerns were addressed promptly and effectively, ensuring that we could continue to enjoy a seamless and comfortable living experience. Their professionalism and proactive approach to maintenance have been impressive, making us feel secure and valued as tenants.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in was just how excellent the staff and building management would be. Their level of care and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. It is clear that the management team genuinely values creating a positive community for residents, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

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

I love the location, it’s very close to the train station and there are plenty of shops around. Parking also very convenient when I have my friends over, there’s space next to the building and u just have to register the plate number with the reception.

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

Mostly email basis. In general they respond 1-3 working days which is fine

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

I didn’t know there’s another exit from east Croydon station that connects to the Home office, so I feel safer to use that exit to go home especially at late night.
