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 still looks good as it was built less than 5 years ago. Property management is nearly non existent - Peabody has hired a caretaker who is other a handful of hours a week and doesn’t seem to be equipped (or bothered) to keep the estate in a clean and decent state. Peabody refusal to fix the anti-parking bolts has also led to cars parking in the middle of the estate. The side on the edge of the canal also doesn’t seem very safe and there’s no railing.

Lifts, bike storage, communal outdoor area in the summer. Beautiful timeless building design and state of the art appliances provided as standard. Building management could respond faster and speed up the installation of full fibre. Great sound proofing in the flats.

Love my flat, great design with tall ceilings and big doors which gives the impression of being in a much larger flat (I am in a 1 bedroom). No facilities really to speak of, the lift works fine. Had issues with hot water availability recently, Peabody fixed within 24 hours.

This is a lovely aura with much to offer if you like to experience and explore different parts of London. You have so much excitement and busy places to see. Parking spaces are good close restaurants and bars etc…. Lovely freshly frendy people and much more. Happy

Very good design , however still baffles me that the nicer front-canal homes were given to council tenants. There’s sometimes friction between private/shared owners and council homes regarding noise, state of bins room, dogs etc. Building was newly built a couple of years ago so no major issues but peabody is extremely slow in replying or actually repairing when needed. This frustrated the residents that pay a high service charge.
