ARK Wembley, HA9

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

There a lots of really great supermarkets and things to do in the area! Sainsburys Local is JUST down the road and is open till pretty late. Boxpark also has some fantastic food options, with some events happening here too (weekly quizzes!) I’d say the only downside to living here is the lack of parking, particularly when you have guests over. As someone who doesn’t own a car, but frequently has visitors over, it’s very difficult to find affordable, all day parking

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

Yes they are very good at responding any issues I raise

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

The rooms have no ovens!! But there are ovens on the 12th floor.

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

Good - the area feels very safe and is well lit at night. I have never had any bad experiences walking around the area at any times of day. Bad - can be difficult on event days to get around as roads are closed.

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

They usually respond quickly to my issues and always try to find a solution

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

Don’t go out on an event day until everyone is inside the stadium!!

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

Very nice area to live and fabulous amenities. Overall a good accommodation for long stay and even for short stay.

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

There is an app for that and they respond very quickly .

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

Wembley is a well-connected and convenient area with a good range of shops, restaurants, and supermarkets nearby, including the London Designer Outlet and Wembley Park. There are plenty of food options and green spaces within walking distance. Transport links are excellent, with Wembley Park station providing quick access into central London via the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines. On the downside, the area can get very busy, especially during events at Wembley Stadium, which can lead to crowds, traffic, and occasional noise. Parking can also be limited at peak times. Overall, the area feels safe and lively, but it’s definitely not the quietest location.

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

Issues are usually resolved within around 3–4 days after raising a ticket, which is reasonable. The management team is generally responsive and helpful. However, the app/system could be improved, as it’s not always the most user-friendly. Digital access (such as permanent digital key/cards) would also be a useful upgrade for residents.

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

The area can get very busy during events at Wembley Stadium, which brings large crowds, noise, and occasional disruption. It’s manageable, but something to be aware of if you prefer a quieter environment. Also, parking can be limited at peak times, so planning ahead is helpful.

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

The good is that lots of new restaurants and shops are opening up, especially around the designer outlet. For example, Amorino just opened up and a new Tesco express right next to the stadium! The less good is parking I’d say. When I have guests over, it’s hard to find cheap car parking for them for a few hrs etc - it’d be nice if there was something like this for residents who don’t own cars but would like to use car parking for their guests.

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

Typically pretty fast via the app. Sometimes I raise questions and concerns on this and they get back to me promptly.

That the TVs in the rooms are not smart TVs!! I was shocked by this for such a new building
