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

The area is often overcrowded, which makes it feel more like an impersonal business district rather than a comfortable place to call home -- especially during Winter Lights period where you can feel the Wharf is going to sink! The constant flow of people and traffic outside can make the environment feel hectic, even if you’re in your apartment. You will also have tons of instagram model wannabe and random teenagers smoking pots around your home and drunk shoplifters raiding alcohol from Amazon Fresh.

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

Vertus has been shockingly unresponsive. I raised multiple issues, from utilities bills (you will be charged way more than you should) to refund of deposits (took me 6 months), and they either ignored or delayed every response. When they did finally get back to me, it was with vague, unhelpful answers. It’s clear they have no interest in addressing tenant concerns or maintaining the property properly.

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

I really wish I had known about the constant noise and overcrowding in the area, especially during events like Winter Lights. It makes the environment feel chaotic and impersonal, with traffic, large crowds, and groups of people hanging around the building. It’s definitely not the peaceful, quiet place I was expecting.

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

Well connected, green spaces nearby, plenty of good restaurants, and the neighborhood is quieter than other parts of London.

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

Prompt and attentive response and follow up, with attention to detail.

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

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

It is in a great and safe location. Everything someone may need is around the area. Very clean and organized streets and parks.

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

Maintenance service is excellent. Yesterday I asked for maintenance for my heating and this morning Dean Joáo came and fixed the problem. He was very kind and helpful to all of my questions.
