Union Wharf, SE8

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

In terms of shops, there is a Waitrose across the road and Tesco and Sainsbury's a short walk away. The restaurants and shops around the cutty sark are also just down the road. In terms of public transport, Greenwich train station is about 10mins walk away and bus stops are on the road right outside. Great location overall.

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

I have only raised one issue so far, and the response was rapid.

The hob is an induction hob, so make sure your pans are induction pans :)

Transit to central London a bit longuer than expected.

Greenwich is a fantastic place to live with a great mix of green space, riverside views, history and strong transport links. Greenwich Park, the river walks, local cafés and independent restaurants are real highlights, and the area has a friendly community feel. The main downsides are the rising costs and petty crimes, but overall it remains one of the best areas to live in London

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

The on-site team and maintenance service have always been wonderful and quick to assist with any issues, making living here hassle-free.

All great, I really couldn’t have asked for a better place

I do wish there was a green space much closer, especially because dog owners allow their dogs to defecate all over the area, like if the abandoned lot next door was a park that would be so amazing. The tiny park next to the creche is unfortunately no longer grass, and the knocking down of trees and vines is also saddening, but at least there's Greenwich park walking distance away. I've never felt unsafe in the area, nor have I felt like it was dirty (aside from the dog excrement and once there was a lot of rubbish attracting rodents around the tables outside reception). The transport is great also, though the cutty sark not being operation is a real pain. Can't complain though, what with regular buses and Greenwich station.

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

They have always responded quickly and assistance has often arrived quickly or at least an appointment booked in.

Don't take the facilities and the view for granted!! You'd be paying an arm and a leg for even one of them in other apartments, we are so so lucky to have all of these available to us and I feel they are very underutilised.

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

The building is super well located. Close to a range of cafes, shops and restaurants. Good transport links too. I would struggle to live anywhere else

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

The building respond promptly to maintenance requests and will even come at a moments notice if available

I wish I had known how much it would have become a core part of my community and support network
