Union Wharf - Incredible!

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

Greenwich is an amazing area to live in - with close transport links including both Cutty Sark and Greenwich station only a 7 minute walk away, getting into central London is quick and easy. Cutty Sark is a lovely area, bustling with locals and tourists alike, and there is plenty of history to experience in the area - including the Old Royal Naval College, Queen's House, Maritime Museum, Painted Hall, Greenwich Market, Royal Observatory just to name a few. Some local favourite pubs including the newly opened 'The Ship', to the historic Trafalgar Tavern and Cutty Sark Pub are closeby and can't be missed. The area is safe and feels very family friendly, open to all and green with plenty of open spaces and parks!

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

If any issues have arose, for example our fridge broke down, a new one was ready and installed within 24 hours - incredibly fast and efficient and taken seriously.

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

The amazing sense of community and activities that are always on here - organised by the fabulous crew!

Quick to help with switching wifi, gym induction and inventory issues.

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

I like that there are free amenity spaces and booking spaces availability. There is a nice convenient cafe attached aswell (even though it isn't the same owner, it could be better prices)....groceries, there is a waitrose very big just less than 5 mins walk. The opposite way there is 2 other express groceries store. Thats good. The building isnt in the center of cutty sark, so not crowded on the roads. There is the Greenwich park close by aswell thats useful for dog owners. There is a small pach of green(gravel really) for dogs. (There could be more grass thats softer for pets paws).

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

The building management has been consistently reliable and professional. I have not experienced any issues during my time here, and communication has always been clear and timely. Maintenance requests, when needed, are handled efficiently. Overall, the service provided has met expectations and contributed to a smooth and hassle-free living experience

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

There is nothing significant I wish I had known before moving in. The experience has been straightforward and met expectations from the start. All key information was provided clearly, and there have been no surprises or issues. Overall, the transition into the property was smooth, and everything has functioned as anticipated.

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

Very close to transport links - bus stops that go into central from right outside the building and overground station making it so easy to get into the city! Love the feel of the area, not quite as busy as central but still lots going on in the neighborhood, loads of nice shops/ restaurants/ cafes in Greenwich and bars/ markets in Deptford. River is so close so easy to go for a nice long walk, or in Greenwich Park, making it easy to get out in nature

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

Any maintenance issues we’ve had were sorted within a couple days at most, and the maintenance team is always very friendly and professional.

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

The community of neighbours is honestly really lovely and it’s so worth putting yourself out there to meet them!

Manager response

Natalie, this is such a joy to read - thank you! We’re so happy you’re loving the community, events, and wellness offerings, and that Union Wharf feels like such a welcoming place to come home to. It’s wonderful to hear how easily connections are made here, and we’re delighted to be part of that experience with you.

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

We moved in just over a year ago now and have been in love with our Home since day 1. The building is well maintained, never an issue and the team onsite are super helpful. All the facilities are excellent, and we may well have one of the best home gyms in the market. On top of this the location of Greenwich is perfect, taking me 10 mins to commute to London Bridge for work and we pretty much have everything we need on our doorstep. Couldn't imagine living anywhere else so we recently extended our lease by another 3 years. There's also a lot of great local shops, bars and restaurants aswell as schools and parks.

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

Anything that we've needed help with has been managed and resolved very quickly without issue, and the building are very proactive on maintenance and keep us well informed.

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

Good things are low cost to run vs other apartment buildings. 2 bed 2 persons costs approx £100 a month in utilities vs other places where Ive paid substantially more.

Manager response

Jason, we love hearing how quickly Union Wharf felt like home for you. It’s great to know the gym, pet-friendly feel, and day-to-day support from the team have made such a positive difference, and that the location works so well for your lifestyle.
