Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We absolutely love where we live. There’s so much to do, so many restaurants and businesses, and easy access to all transit lines.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They are quick to respond, typically within the same day, and help to resolve issues or provide additional information when asked.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It sounds silly but my old residence had a trash shoot that was amazing — each floor had a door to open and throw your trash bags down, rather than having to take trash down.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Love the area, super close to the office, lots of great food and drink options on the Canary Wharf side for a more chain-like experience and plenty of local gems on the Isle of Dogs side!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, 100%. Fixing everything super quickly, Dean Joao always there for us!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Tough to say, everything was explained very well by the lettings team. The only concern that I may raise is that no one mentioned that Airbnb plan that can be put in place. Would rather not have the building to be turned into a collection of short stay rentals whenever someone is out for a vacation.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Right in the middle of everything from a hospitality and transport perspective. 5 minutes from the mall and equal distance to the edge of Canary Wharf and a good old fashioned London pub.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Highly responsive, some minor issues on moving in day all handled quickly and professionally.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Minor niggle - coffee cups in lounge need to be available 100% of the time.
