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.

Building design is terrible as when it's windy, depending on the angle either the building shakes and squeaks all day and night, or the window seals whistle. On those days and nights be prepared for no sleep or concentration. When the sun shines directly on the SE/SW facing windows it sends the temperature rocketing and no easy way of cooling down. If 1 lift is OOA it means you can be waiting 5-10 minutes for a lift. The bin room is always a state, and nothing is done to track down residents who dump rubbish on the floor of the bin room instead of the dumpsters provided. The underground car park isn't safe as anyone can get in and try their luck at opening your doors. I've learned that one 1st hand. RealStar and Uncle will do nothing to help or compensate you. The building intercom never worked in 2.25 years. The concierge team are always overloaded when it's delivery time. However, the Front desk team are a lovely team and are the saving grace for the building. The team in the building are amazing and I will wax lyrical about them.

We loved everything here at Uncle E&C! The flat is beautiful, very new, clean and was fitted out with top-of-the-line appliances and stylish colours and made day-to-day living a true pleasure. We also enjoyed the sky lounge space on the 45th floor - my husband especially as he is often working from home, and even we had friends and family coming over. The gym is also very nice. And I used a reserved parking spot in the garage underneath the building for my Mercedes convertible. All of the staff at the reception desk are amazing and it was a pleasure to come back home and see Farid or Paul smile and ask how our day was. The building management team is also terrific, especially Kevin who is always so kind and helpful! The staff is very responsive, dedicated, and friendly. There's also a park, supermarket and great playground just outside. We moved out because his employer has relocated my husband to the US, but we will surely miss London and Uncle with its amazing views and the nice feeling of being at home.

Beautiful apartments which have great views and are peaceful. Overall, the worst landloard I have experienced in a poorly maintained building at highly inflated rent - go elsewhere as London as much better to offer! Same on Uncle for being what they shame in their marketing - a bad landloard!

HORRIBLE SERVICE. There is no hot water 5 days. I cannot go out or do my gym as there is no hot water. We only get same email messages like following. Hi everyone, Unfortunately, there has been another loss of hot water again today. We're already on it and have informed the contractors that look after that system who are on site and working to restore hot water as a priority. We're very sorry for the inconvenience and we continue to do everything we can to get this resolved as quickly as we can. Thanks, UNCLE Elephant & Castle

The development is great. The team is incredible. The sky lounge is beautiful with breathtaking views. The only issue is the area. It’s not the safest but there is a massive redevelopment currently underway which could counteract that. The transport links are great.
