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.

We have been here for just over a year now and have thoroughly enjoyed it! The concierge team are always so quick to help with any problems and always happy to do so. Angie has been so helpful and always a happy face! The rooftop communal area is a lovely space to enjoy, especially whilst working from home. Overall, a great place to rent in Greenwich!

We have lived in Union Wharf for just over a year now and we could not be happier with our home. The design of our flat creates a bright and airy space and the windows and balcony definitely makes the most of our wonderful views across Greenwich, Canary Wharf and central London. In addition to this the staff at Union Wharf are just amazing, they go above and beyond to help with any problem and create such a warm welcome into the building.

The building is very well designed, furbished and decorated, the communal areas are modern, luxurious and very well designed and maintained. The only reason why I scored it "very good" instead of "excellent" is that I would have preferred real plants on the terrace , but I appreciate it is not easy maintenance. The management team and reception offer an excellent service.

After 5 years of living in London, Union Wharf finally feels like home for me and my son!! My son was born here in London and I am originally from California so it was a dream to find UW and a building with all the amenities, easy access to everything and it is always super clean! We have amazing rooftops with stellar views which have BBQs, lounges where you can WFH or have some wine and cheese. There is a pool table in one building and large areas to hire out for private events. No one usually mentions it but there is also great selections of different books to read in the common areas - even cookbooks in the kitchen. I love the fact that Essential Living/Union Wharf thought of everything as they even have a guest apartment that can be rented out for people from out of town at a very reasonable price. I do not use the gym but they have that too along with classes and social events which makes the community come together and get to know the neighbours. They are a young development and there will always be teething issues along the way. Overall it is a great place to live as I feel safe and that they are always looking out for their renters best interests. They also LOVE pets! Lastly- they have the best team at reception who help with EVERYTHING!! I can never thank them enough. Thanks Essential Living, we love living here!!

I’m honestly so impressed by Union Wharf! From the professional service at concierge / prop-man, to the friendly cleaning team!! The gym is spotless and well equipped, and the roof top communal area and kitchens all kept so lovely ? the handling of issues within the development are brilliant such as the recent electrical fault that led to building evacuation, so impressed.
Manager response
Thank you for the top marks! It's great to hear you are enjoying spending time in the communal spaces ?
