Great and green

Building and facilities are great. The gym could have a better variation of machines. The concierge are a bit useless when it comes to solving problems (ex. Water heater down, noise from construction in the entrance of parking in the middle of the night).

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

Area is great. Easy to get to central london. More restaurants around the area would be appreciated.

Overall impression of the Riverlight building where I live is it is modern and functional. It is not overly beautiful or state-of-the-art, but everything is good quality and works. Two years into living here, I don’t find that things are breaking or needing major repair.

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

I like that I feel safe here. I dislike that it is on a very busy street which is dangerous to cross. It needs a new crosswalk to the bus stop. Also the construction noise is constant but can get used to it

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

I wish I knew that the construction was early morning, late night, and weekends. The workers seem to clog up the grocery store near me and they leave rubbish and cigarettes all over the ground in the area.

Fantastic location, walking distance to Vauxhall, Battersea Park and Power station. Concierge helpful. Post room fairly organised. Sainsbury and bars/restaurants onsite. Supermarkets 5 min drive away. Nearest street parking about 3 min walk away. Very good travel links.

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

Closenwalk to everything. Westminster not too much further than local leisure areas. Battersea Park great in the summer, especially for kids

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

How quickly the local area was changing (for the better) with the Battersea Power Station development

Modern development, good standard of living

The exterior looks stunning. Different shapes/colours from what you normally see on the London skyline. The Concierge are always polite and helpful, and do what they can to accommodate. There is a strict policy against AirBnb/short term letting. Window cleaning is covered as part of the service charge. Leaseholders are charged on the basis but this is done quarterly, but this has in fact only been done twice or three times in two years. It is especially pertinent at this development which is surrounded by other developments and Battersea Power Station, so there is a lot of dust from the construction. The managing agent are strict with the development aesthetic, and so consequently the only things that are allowed on balconies are ‘potted plants and good quality garden furniture’. The ground floor of each building has a business - most notably a Sainsburys Local, Indian and Japanese restaurants, a pub and a coffee shop. A large Waitrose is only a 5 minute walk away, Vauxhall station 10-15 minutes walk with direct buses outside the development. Once Battersea Power Station tube is finished in 2020, a northern line station will be a 5 minute walk away.

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

The development has a Sainsburys Local, pub, Japanese and Indian restaurants and a coffee shop. There is a large Waitrose 5 minutes walk away. Vauxhall tube station is 10-12 minutes away, and when Battersea Power Station tube completes in 2020, a northern line station will be a 5 minute walk away.

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

The whole development is stuck with monopolised suppliers for heating and hot water and broadband. For broadband, BT is the only well known provider available, even though you can get speeds up to 300MB. Heating and hot water is monopolised by SSE, and the standing charges are quite extortionate.
