The Scene, E17

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

It is very central in town, literally above the shops. That's good but means there is often lots of noise during the day and weekends. Plus the transport links are great and so close by.

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

Nothing.

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

The apartment is really convenient so for commuting from central London it's really easy. Walthamstow village is nearby and has quaint cafes, old restaurants and old bars. It is idyllic honestly feels like a little hamlet. There is a community feel in the village. It is polar opposite to the location that the apartment is actually in though.

Nothing.

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

The location is great in regards to transport and shops. But big worry with safety. There were stabbings literally on the street just outside the flat during the day because of gang turf wars.

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

There has been no hot water a couple of times and there is consistently poor building management.

I like how convenient the location is - it's so close to the tube and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. I don't like how noisy it can get though.
