Good: Really great transport link with trains, busses and DLR. Good greenery for dogs and few min walk over to royal Victoria cable cars Bad: can get noisy and flat needs more dusting at times as flat is next to train tracks, but with window closes it’s all good.

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

Fizzy Canning Town is conveniently located, just a stone’s throw away from shops, restaurants, and the tube station. The neighborhood is quiet and relatively peaceful, which is a huge plus for me. The building itself is also quite safe, as it requires a two-point entry system.

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

Upon moving in we noticed some minors issue but were addressed promptly. We also had one incident where we noticed a leaking pipe during late at night and straight away rang the out of hours support line. The on-call staff member (unfortunately, we forgot to ask his name) arrived incredibly quickly—within about 20 minutes. He fixed the issue and resolved everything in less than an hour from when it was reported. He was efficient, reliable, and courteous throughout the process. His service was definitely commendable—10/10! By the next morning, one of the maintenance staff, Paul, called me to follow up. He was already in the building first thing and kindly rechecked the pipes to ensure everything was okay. He also reassured me afterward. His service was equally commendable—10/10! Thank you for the excellent service as always, Fizzy team!

Everything about the flat, building, and management was perfectly good. The only flaw I can think of regarding the area is the constant rubbish scattered in front of the building along the market space, but it’s not really a big deal.
