One Park Drive, E14

Poor living experience. The noise from the creaking walls is simply unbearable. When it's windy it sounds like being on a ship in a storm. The whole building groans loudly and at times I can even feel it sway. Even in low winds there is a persistent creaking noise from the swaying all around the flat. Last week the noise was going on almost every day, almost 24 hours a day. It has been impossible to sleep at night. It's taking a toll on my mental health. My neighbour has a daughter and the noise is affecting her performance at school because she can't sleep on nights before exams. Given how much we paid for this flat I would have expected a more sturdy structure. The developer did some work on the roof to mitigate the noise but nothing has changed. I'll have to move out because this doesn't feel like a home at all. A place where you oftentimes can't sleep isn't a home. I understand it's an interesting architectural design, but I'd rather live in a normally shaped building and have no wind creaking noise. The noise is also very "3D" in that it comes from the entire surrounding structure, making it impossible to block out with earplugs or mask with music. Perhaps the building was designed with a lightweight structure for aesthetic reasons, but this means I have this persistent creaking noise problem and I can feel the tube nearby passing (DLR) like a low frequency vibration noise

Great pool and gym, with sauna, steam room and hydrotherapy pool. Great floorplan and good materials used throughout. Comfort cooling not that effective but adequate. Clicking noise (only in days with high winds) typical of high-rise buildings, but one gets used to it after a while. Building insulation is very good, so minimum heating is required during winter. Additional storage is available for purchase, which we find very useful. While the health club is of good size, the common area is on the small side.
