L&Q at Quebec Quarter Private Rental, SE16

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

Local area is very residential. It is safe, quiet and has a lot of lovely green space for its relatively central location. However, the robust high street is somewhat lacking but this is likely going to improve with the British Land development going forward.

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

I haven't really raised any major problems to date so can't really make any comments on this.

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

The development is nicely situated between two stations meaning you can quite easily get to the Jubilee Line or the Overground. It’s also near to the Thames, Russia Dockland Park and the local quays. However there is not much more to do in the area so we predominantly travel elsewhere.

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

There will be a construction site just over the road which will be noisy throughout the working day.

What is the best feature of your home:

There is a large living / kitchen space which lets in a lot of light.

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

Location wise the development is in a great position. It backs onto the Russia Docklands park which has been a great area to walk around and be in nature. Easy walking distance to Canada Water station for the Jubilee line and also overground services. Traffic noise is minimal on the street but the past 6 months of living here there has been a lot more disturbance due to the building works at Printworks.

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

The amount of building work that would start going on the road at Printworks and noise around the flat area for repair works on the grounds.

What is the best feature of your home:

The open plan kitchen / living area and large balcony space.
