We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The building is too warm. I had to use a fan and leave windows open all year round. I was told that this was due to the heating pipes running along the floor. The views are stunning and the connection into London is unbeatable.

The main problem with this building is the management and age of the building. The concierges are great. But if you live in this building dont expect to have hot water every day. Dont expect them to fix it when you complain. The concierges will try but it will be fixed for a few days or weeks and break again. Expect that most months there will be multiple days you have no hot water. There has been a fundamental problem with the hot water going back to 2010 which you can google and see from elektron residents association. Not much has improved since then from my experience.. For that reason I would say avoid Proton and elektron tower too since they share the same flawed hot water system. Only other complaint would be that it is extremely hot in some of the flats. I dont know why. Fine in the winter I suppose but not that pleasant in summer.

I love the development. It has green space, access to gym and one of the great views of canary wharf and O2. I live in proton tower which has dedicated lifts for 1st to 9th floor and another one for 10th floor and above. I appreciate having separate dedicated lifts to save time during rush hours. There are four lifts in total serving proton Tower. Having gym is convenient but they can do with some barbells and dumbbells.

The maintenance of the development is well and organised. The cleanliness and services are spot on. Pretty happy with the flats as well however kitchen could do with some more space.
