Plimsoll Building, N1C

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

Great restaurant options make it easy to see friends during the week or otherwise. Coal Office for locals. Dishoom for foreigners. Lightermans for everyone. Love the parks nearby, some small and some larger. Very clean, with loads of recycling bins. They even have poop bags for dogs, which shows how much they understand the residents.

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

We haven’t raised any issues recently, so I can’t say much here.

The council tax is quite high but the heating costs are lower than usual because of the eco-friendly building design.

The area is great as you have great amount of choices for hanging out, food and shopping. But there is too much noise around the area and especially in our building which starts from 7:30 AM.

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

I am still not sure when the construction work will be completed they should update us more often.

Once the noise and scaffolding issues have been fixed I think this would a perfect area to live in.

Kings Cross is an incredible place to live , and N1C is a real oasis . It’s surprisingly quiet as we are quite a way from any main roads in Plimsoll, and we have the great landscaping , shops, restaurants, facilities that are here in the Redevelopment zone , as well as views over the Canal.

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

Surprised how amazingly easy it is to get everywhere - can walk to the city or west end in 20-30mins , tube there in 5mins - pretty much everywhere in London is accessible in 30 mins or less- and of course when we can, go to Paris ( or even Nottingham to watch my football team ) in a couple of hours .

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

There is still considerable building work going on in the redevelopment zone ( including the new theatre that we are excited about) , but this was always known about when we purchased so we have no complaints.

Being so close to Coal Drops Yard the area has a great selection of upmarket shops and many great restaurants. With the regents canal so close there are lots of opportunities to go for runs, or walks, and there are a few small parks (Gasholders Park is great) for walking dogs or picnicking in.

The council tax is on the higher end of the scale (£150-200/month for a 1 bedroom), so one definitely pays for the nice area we're situated in.

We've really struggled to get our landlord (actually the managing agency) to fix our dishwasher. It's been 6 months of emails, and nothings actually been done.
