Best decision I’ve made, don’t change anything! The location is better than I thought, and the nearby park is lovely

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

The service elevator for garbage frequently breaks down, which is very inconvenient. Other than that, I’m very satisfied! The living experience is comfortable, and the property staff are all great—especially Saad!

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

Saad is the best! He is very friendly, always patient in helping me solve problems, and he’s quite funny lol.

There are so many things, even the smallest one: the property staff always greet me politely, which makes me feel happy every day when I come home.

Great location in terms of commute and grocery. However, some neighbours in the building can be quite socially unfriendly. People been smoking and leaving trash in the hallway. We have been reporting this issue a few times, haven’t seen much improvement so far.

It’s an okay area, the convenience of the tube is fantastic, there is a new coffee shop due to open soon and a gym has just opened less than a 1 min walk from the building which is amazing! Bow in general doesn't have loads going on and it's a 10min walk to the nearest coffee shop currently. The tesco is very convenient but for other local high street amenities there's nothing super convenient close by.

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

They have always been diligent in responding to requests, Beverly and Helga are very friendly :) No major problems raised but we have a whatsapp to ask questions to and the response is usually pretty quick

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

That there are not very convenient high street amenities beyond Tesco

The area is very tranquil overall and has a lot of options to get groceries nearby. Very convenient to walk places and the immediate site is well kept. Transport is very practical.

Adequately and with intention of helping. Proactive.
